Why to Go for Containers?

Benefits of containers
Containers require less system resources than traditional or hardware virtual machine environments because they don't include operating system images. Applications running in containers can be deployed easily to multiple different operating systems and hardware platforms.

What's the #1 purpose of a container?

First and foremost, using containers creates portability across environments. When the dependencies that are required to run an application coexist with the application itself, you can run that container almost anywhere. For example, say you started an application in a development environment.

What is the benefit of containerization?

Reduced cost of infrastructure operations – There are usually many containers running on a single VM. Solution scalability on the microservice/function level – No need to scale instances/VMs. Better security – Full application isolation makes it possible to set each application's major process in separate containers.
