04 Oct What are containers?
Containers are a lightweight and portable way to deploy applications. They package an application and its dependencies into a single container that can be run on any system that supports containers, without requiring a specific environment or dependencies to be installed.
Containers are often compared to virtual machines (VMs), but they are much lighter and more efficient. While VMs virtualize an entire machine, containers virtualize only the operating system, sharing the same kernel as the host system.
Containers typically include:
* The application code
* Dependencies and libraries
* Configuration files
* Environment variables
They provide a consistent and reliable way to deploy applications, ensuring that the application works as expected, regardless of the environment it's running in.
Some popular containerization platforms include Docker, Kubernetes, and containerd.
