Containers Insights

What is Containers?

Containers are a form of operating system virtualization. A single container might be used to run anything from a small microservice or software process to a larger application. They package up code and all its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another. Unlike virtual machines, containers do not bundle a full operating system, instead relying on the operating system kernel's functionality for resource isolation.
