Exploring the fundamentals of containerization

One problem that's encountered frequently by teams while developing large, complex systems is that the code that works on one machine doesn't work on another. One developer might say it works on their machine, but Quality Assurance (QA) claims that it is failing on "their machine" with animated face. The main reason behind these kinds of scenarios is a mismatch of dependencies (such as different versions of Java, a certain web server, or OS), configurations, or files.

Also, setting up a new environment for deploying new products sometimes takes a day or more. This is unacceptable in today's environment and slows down your development turnaround. These kinds of issues can be solved by containerizing the application.

In containerization, an application is bundled, configured, and wrapped with all the required dependencies and files. This bundle can then be run on any machine that support the containerization...
