Containers & Microservices5
• Fully functional, portable, container-based service at
the push of a button
• Deploys apps consistently across internal/private,
public, or hybrid IT and cloud environments
• No lock-in
• For Developers to get their application running
locally and deployed in production
• Offers point-and-click method to configure an
app, write application code, and deploy
Shipped
• Open source project defining infrastructure
operational policies for container-based
application deployment

Container != Microservices
But..
They are often deployed together

Microservice is an architecture

A packaging & portability layer for
code/apps/stuff.
Containers are a technology
Container
Your code
Your startup scripts
Code dependencies
Should deploy with
exactly the same
behavior on any
host/VM that can run
containers.

Can you put that together for me?
