Containerization Technology and its Benefits

In this article on Containerization Technology and its Benefits, I will explain the concept of containerization.

In order to run an application anywhere we use containers. Basically, containerization allows an application to run in isolation. The goal of containerization is to create a bundle comprising of all necessary components required to run an application. So, containerization combines the application executable files along with all of its dependencies like software libraries, frameworks, data elements, and other dependencies.

Benefit of the Containerization

Since containerized application can run in isolation, this allows the developers to run their application anywhere, in any environment. This is the most important benefit of containerization. In other words, containerization enables developers to deploy their applications on any operating system. So, the application becomes ready to run. For example, the same container can run on ay operating system. Whether it is Linux or Windows. Another benefit of using containers is security. The application that runs in a container is more secure.

Also, the application has less bugs and errors. For example, when a perfectly running application is transferred to another environment, errors and bugs may introduce. Containers avoid these bugs. Another benefit is efficiency. So, the applications running in containers are more efficient. There is less overhead.

Tools for Containerization

There are many tools available for creating containers. For example, Docker, Kubernetes, Mesosphere, and so on.

Summary

To summarize, containers allow an application to run in any environment. Furthermore, they provide several benefits such as efficiency, security, and less overhead. In fact, there are many tools available for containerization. However, Docker is most widely used and it is suitable for any type of solution.
