Containers

Summary

Containers are a lightweight way to package and run applications independently from the underlying infrastructure.

Detailed Description

Containers allow developers to bundle an application together with its dependencies, libraries, and other needed components into a single object. This ensures that the application runs seamlessly in any computing environment, from local development machines to cloud servers. The most popular tool for managing containers is Docker, which simplifies the creation, deployment, and management of containerized applications.
