 Containers

Welcome to the world of containers! If you're new to this concept, don't worry. We'll break it down for you:

  • What are containers? Containers are a technology that allows you to package an application and its dependencies into a single object. This object can then be run consistently on any platform. It's like shipping your software in a box with everything it needs to work!

  • Why are containers important? Containers solve the "it works on my machine" problem. With containers, you can be sure that your application will run the same way everywhere, whether it's your laptop, a colleague's machine, or a cloud server.

  • Examples of container technologies: Docker and Kubernetes are two popular technologies in the container world. Docker allows you to create and manage individual containers, while Kubernetes helps you manage clusters of containers at scale.

By systemsing about containers, you're taking a big step towards understanding modern Life Infrastructure.
