Docker® Consulting for Enterprises: Analysis, Strategy, and Integration
Every organization has its own infrastructure, constraints, and objectives . That's why our consulting begins with a technical and organizational analysis : applications in use, development and release processes, security and service continuity requirements. We understand where containers bring concrete benefits and where they shouldn't be introduced.
Based on this, we define a tailored adoption strategy : standards for writing images, versioning conventions, a private registry , secret management, and governance rules. Integration with existing systems, whether bare metal, virtualized, cloud, or hybrid , is planned to ensure seamless operation.
We then support your team in the practical implementation , deliver the technical documentation and transfer the necessary skills, so that the company remains autonomous and the project sustainable over time.
Containerization of legacy applications: guided migration to modern environments
Many core business applications are difficult to update, replicate, and release reliably. Containerization makes them portable and reproducible without rewriting them from scratch, reducing risk with each release.
The process is structured: we analyze the architecture, dependencies, external services, and persistent data , define how to separate the components, and create optimized Dockerfiles with minimal, multi-stage images. We configure volumes, networking, and environment variables , and describe the entire stack with Docker Compose or, where appropriate, with Kubernetes.
The migration is carried out in phases, with functional equivalence testing and a rollback plan for each step, ensuring operational continuity throughout the project.
DevOps and CI/CD with Docker: Rapid, Repeatable, and Secure Releases
With containers, the same artifact passes unchanged from development to test to production. Integrated into a CI/CD pipeline , they allow you to automate builds, tests, and releases , reducing manual errors and delivery times.
We design and optimize pipelines with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins and Argo CD : automatic builds with layer cache, testing, image vulnerability scanning , signing and publishing to private registries , deployment to staging and production with rollback strategies.
The result is a more frequent and predictable release process , with fewer regressions and an infrastructure that is ready to grow with your business.
Container Infrastructure: Design, Deployment, and Maintenance
A container-based infrastructure isolates application components, simplifies scalability, and makes deployments more secure. Achieving these benefits in production, however, requires the right architectural choices for orchestration, networking, storage, and security.
We design and build infrastructures with Docker Engine, Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, or Kubernetes , choosing the orchestrator based on the project's actual complexity. We manage networks and reverse proxies (such as Traefik or NGINX), persistent volumes and backups , resource limits, health checks, and update and rollback policies.
After deployment, we ensure ongoing maintenance and monitoring with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki , for a stable, observable , and evolvable environment .
Managing and optimizing Docker environments in production
Managing Docker in production means ensuring day-to-day availability, security, and performance , minimizing the risk of downtime and regressions. We also take on already operational environments built by others.
We start with an audit that identifies bottlenecks, risky configurations, and outdated or vulnerable images. We address image size and security , CPU and memory limits , log rotation and centralization , secret management , and container execution with least privileges or in rootless mode.
We set up monitoring and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, cAdvisor) and manage scheduled updates of Docker Engine and base images, with pre-testing and a rollback plan.
Docker technical training for development and IT teams
To truly leverage containers, developers and system administrators must share tools, methods, and best practices . That's why we offer customized training courses , both in-person and remote, for developers, DevOps engineers, and Linux system administrators.
Content ranges from fundamentals, containers, images, volumes, and networking , to optimized Dockerfiles , Docker Compose , private registries , image security, CI/CD, and an introduction to orchestration.
Sessions include hands-on labs built, whenever possible, on the company's own projects, to provide immediately applicable skills.
Operational on premise and on major cloud providers.
Your container infrastructure, wherever it is.
Are you considering adopting containers or migrating your Docker environments to the cloud ? We support you with systems expertise gained across on-premise, cloud, and hybrid architectures , from design to day-to-day management.
The service is available on physical and virtual servers in your data center and on major cloud providers, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, OVHcloud, and Hetzner . We work on Docker hosts and clusters , Docker Compose stacks , private registries , networks and storage, Docker Swarm orchestrators , and Kubernetes.
Troubleshooting, optimization, monitoring or new configurations: you can open a ticket at any time and our Linux system administrators will intervene remotely, within the times set by the SLA.
GDPR compliant
We are an Italian company and operate in full compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) , with ISO 27001 certified data centers located in the European Union and an infrastructure managed by staff operating in the EU.
Information about your Docker environments, tickets, and support communications are treated with strict security and confidentiality criteria . The data remains within the European Union and is deleted within 30 days of the closure of the incident , in accordance with industry best practices for data protection and retention.
