Containerization#
What is Containerization?#
Containerization is a technology that allows you to package an application with all of its dependencies into a container. This container can then be run on any machine that has the same container runtime installed.
Why use Containerization?#
- Portability
- Isolation
- Reproducibility
Docker as an Example#
Docker is the most popular container platform. It lets developers:
- Build container images with all dependencies included.
- Ship these images anywhere (laptop, server, or cloud).
- Run them consistently, avoiding the “works on my machine” problem.
