However, deploying and scaling these systems traditionally involve complex procedures and significant resource allocation. This paper explores the automation of ERP application deployment and scaling using Linux containers and Kubernetes, highlighting how these technologies simplify and enhance system management. By leveraging containerization and orchestration platforms, organizations can achieve greater agility, scalability, and resource efficiency. This study provides an overview of Linux containers and Kubernetes, detailing their architecture, advantages, and application in ERP systems. It includes a comprehensive methodology for automating deployment and scaling, supported by real-world case studies and data analysis. The results demonstrate significant improvements in deployment time, scalability, and cost savings. This paper concludes by discussing the implications of these technologies in the ERP domain, highlighting future research opportunities to address current limitations.
