Containers and Cloud Computing

Containers and Cloud Computing

You have probably heard of Docker. It’s the container system that has exploded onto the cloud computing scene just five years ago. But if you haven’t, you can think of containers as easily configured, lightweight VMs (virtual machines) that start up fast, often in under a second. Containers are ideal for micro-service architectures and for environments that scale rapidly or release often. Containers address several important operational problems; that is the key to their explosive growth. Containerization promises to change the way that IT operations are carried out just as radically as virtualization technology did previously.
