The document discusses the rise of containers as the dominant way to package and deploy applications. It notes that container usage has increased 200% in large enterprises and is expected to rise 80% more over the next two years. Containers offer advantages over virtual machines like faster updates and easier fixing of issues by replacing container images rather than modifying running systems. However, managing containers at scale requires rethinking development and operations workflows to address their unique needs.
