Container overview
Containers are an operating system-level isolation method for running multiple applications on a single control host. With developers building, and then packaging their applications into containers, and providing them to IT to run on a standardized platform, it reduces the overall effort to deploy applications, and can streamline the whole dev and test cycle, ultimately reducing costs. As containers can run on a host OS, which itself could be a physical or virtual machine, it provides IT with flexibility, and the opportunity to drive an increased level of server consolidation, all while keeping a level of isolation that allows many containers to share the same host operating system.
Container benefits
Applications are fueling the innovation in today's cloud-mobile world, and developers hold the keys to the power of those applications. The more streamlined and efficient the process for developers to build and deliver their applications, the faster more powerful applications...
