Abstract

This paper presents a detailed analysis of modern methods of containerization and automated deployment of web applications using Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD technologies. The latest developments in this area are considered, allowing to optimize the deployment process and minimize costs. Special attention is paid to security issues of containerized environments, monitoring tools and comparison of different automation tools. The article provides examples of practical application of such technologies as GitLab CI/CD, Telegram API, Prometheus and Grafana, and discusses key advantages of the container approach over traditional deployment methods. It concludes with promising directions for future research, including the use of artificial intelligence to monitor and optimize container environments.
