Container Applications

Containerization is a form of virtualization where applications run in isolated user spaces, called containers, while using the same shared operating system (OS). One of the benefits of containerization is that a container is essentially a fully packaged and portable computing environment.

A container is standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another.

This chapter details the container management software I currently use to manage containerized applications.
