container in the middle with explanation around

What is a Container?

These days, all kinds of technology exists. In fact, there’s so much that it can be hard to tell what’s legitimate and necessary from what isn’t. However, containers definitely fall into the useful category.

What is a container? You can think of it as a way to virtualize your operating system. Using a container, you can run different processes and programs. A good container will have everything you need in order to do so and offers many other benefits as well.

Abstraction

With an application container, your application can be separated from its environment. This simple fact offers many benefits. The main one is that you can work on upgrading dependencies, clearing up problems, and improving your application without letting other application specifics, like which version of software you’re using, get in the way.

Efficiency

Containerization also makes sense for many purposes because of how efficient it is. Without a separate operating system involved, containers don’t take up much room or tax a system much at all. In fact, they’re usually small enough in size that you can run several of them on one server at the same time.

Versatility

As if the above containers benefits weren’t enough, you’ll also find that containers are incredibly versatile. They can run anywhere and across different systems. Run them on Linux, Windows, or anything in between. Or, choose to run them on a public cloud. The choice is yours, which provides you with a lot of freedom and enables you to work in a way that works for you.
