Container-Native Deployment for Container-Native Organizations
Modern infrastructure teams aren’t just deploying applications; they’re orchestrating entire ecosystems. While cloud marketplace VMs can be managed with infrastructure-as-code, they’re often treated as “pets” rather than disposable infrastructure. Container deployments of SFTP Gateway fit naturally into cattle-not-pets workflows: Your Orchestration Platform: Your Kubernetes clusters already handle scaling, health checks, and service discovery. Why manage marketplace VMs separately when you can leverage the orchestration you’ve already built? Infrastructure as Code: Define your SFTP Gateway deployment alongside your other services. Version control your configurations. Deploy consistently across environments without cloud provider-specific interfaces. Cloud Independence: Containers run anywhere—on-premises infrastructure, different cloud providers, or hybrid arrangements. No marketplace vendor lock-in. Security and Compliance: Many organizations require custom base images, security scanning, and specific networking configurations that marketplace listings can’t accommodate.Introducing SFTP Gateway Container Deployments
We’re expanding beyond marketplace-only deployments with full Docker and Kubernetes support for SFTP Gateway. The same enterprise-grade SFTP solution you know, now packaged for container-native environments with enterprise security features: Security-First Design: Our container images are built from base images in the Docker Hardened Images repository, resulting in near-zero CVEs over time in a maintainable way. Supply Chain Integrity: Container images include supply chain attestations and follow security practices to receive “A” Docker Scout scores. Cloud Independence: Container images can write files to local filesystem/persistent volumes to achieve cloud-independent deployment and work with on-premises workflows. Minimal Attack Surface: Images use a distroless runtime to minimize the attack surface. Complete Feature Parity: All SFTP Gateway capabilities (cloud storage integrations, user management, audit logging, API access, and more) work identically in container deployments.Built for Your Workflow
Whether you’re running a simple Docker Compose setup or a multi-region Kubernetes deployment, SFTP Gateway containers integrate seamlessly with:- Environment variable configuration for easy automation
- Health check endpoints for your monitoring systems
- Persistent volume support for stateful data
- Custom networking configurations for complex setups
