The article is devoted to the study of the use of Docker containerization technology for the development, deployment and management of a campus information system. In modern educational institutions, information systems play a key role in ensuring the effective management of schedules, resources, communications and innovative technologies, such as augmented reality (AR). However, traditional methods of developing such systems face challenges, in particular, the complexity of deployment, low portability, high resource requirements and difficulties in integrating with heterogeneous environments. In this context, Docker containerization offers a promising solution, providing modularity, scalability and simplification of development and administration processes.

The article analyzes the effectiveness of using Docker to create a campus information system, with an emphasis on optimizing development processes, reducing costs and ensuring compatibility with educational tasks. The key stages of project management are considered: planning, coordination of the work of an interdisciplinary team (programmers, administrators, designers), selection of a technology stack (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, Unity for AR components), and quality control.

The study demonstrates that Docker enables the creation of modular systems based on a microservices architecture, which simplifies the integration of diverse components, such as scheduling management, library resources, or AR applications for virtual campus tours. The article also analyzes the challenges associated with container security, the need for IT training, and integration with legacy systems. Practical recommendations are offered for the use of monitoring tools (Prometheus) and vulnerability scanning (Trivy) to ensure system reliability. The results of the study emphasize that Docker containerization contributes to the creation of flexible, portable, and cost-effective information systems for student campuses. The article will be useful for developers, administrators, and researchers working on the implementation of modern technologies in the educational environment, as well as for project managers seeking to optimize costs and improve management efficiency.

Keywords: Docker containerization, information system, campus, software development, scalability, project management, container security.
