In this episode, we break down how containerization, Docker, and Kubernetes help Industrial IoT move from small pilots to real, scalable systems. We keep the discussion simple — what containers actually do, why Docker became the default tool, and how Kubernetes helps manage everything when dozens or hundreds of edge services need to stay running. We also look at the practical side: what works well on the shop floor, what still feels complicated, and why consistency matters more than fancy orchestration. It’s a clear, calm walkthrough of the tools that make large-scale IIoT possible without turning every update into a fire drill. For deeper reading and more hands-on insights, visit iiotblog.com.
