Category: Containerization

Containerization is the packaging together of software code with all it’s necessary components like libraries, frameworks, and other dependencies so that they are isolated in their own “container.” This is so that the software or application within the container can be moved and run consistently in any environment and on any infrastructure, independent of that environment or infrastructure’s operating system. The container acts as a kind of bubble or a computing environment surrounding the application and keeping it independent of its surroundings. It’s basically a fully functional and portable computing environment.
