Integrate AWS Services into Rancher Workloads with Triggermesh

Many businesses use cloud services on AWS and also run workloads on Kubernetes and Knative.

This flexibility comes with some problems - like high disk usage and large images. With Docker, you have to be careful about writing your Dockerfile efficiently in order to reduce the image size and also improve the build times.

Kubernetes vs. Docker

Kubernetes and Docker each play a vital role in modern, microservices-based application development. Since Kubernetes and Docker work in unison to help develop, deploy, and manage large-scale applications – they are not mutually exclusive technologies and they are certainly not in competition with each other.
