Rest API, creating containers

Posted on January 25, 2022

Hello Digitalocean,

We are a SaaS company based on Canada, we host our product on AWS, we are thinking to migrate every think to digitalocean ASAP.

We would like to know if there is a REST API that we can use to create containers, since we gonna use Digitalocean Kubernetes.

Our question is based on: Our SaaS model, because we create a container per client ( we have a CRM ).

Otherwise, what are your suggestions please.

Thank you

Hello,

You could use the DigitalOcean API to create your Docker images as described here:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/container-registry/quickstart/

For the deployment of those images to an orchestration system like Kubernetes, you could use a CI/CD tool.

For example, one option is to use CircleCI as described here:

Alternatively, there are other CI/CD tools out there that you might prefer but this would depend on the skills that you have in your current Ops team and previous experience. To name a few tools: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Flux:

Hope that this helps. Best, Bobby
