The emerging tool of containers promises to redefine infrastructure and cybersecurity, even as it speeds the development of cloud computing.
In the simplest terms, a container is a “wrapper” that allows software to travel between operating environments. Container technology greatly speeds and enhances cloud computing development.
Cloud computing companies hail containers as a powerful tool for developing, managing and migrating applications and software components from one system or environment to another.
Containers create a unique virtual space – called a “sandbox” – that separates an application from others in the same environment. This abstraction process ensures that the software code doesn’t connect to other virtualized spaces and systems.
