Container as a Service is a container-based managed solution that provides tools to deploy and manage containerized applications. Containers isolate applications from each other and the underlying infrastructure, allowing applications to run consistently regardless of environment. Key benefits of containers include increased workload density, improved portability, faster deployment and updates, and more consistent operations. The solution is powered by Kubernetes for orchestration and IBM Cloud Private and includes features like automated deployments, monitoring, security controls and a management console.

• A standard way to package an
application and all its dependencies so
that it can be moved between
environments and run without changes.
• Containers work by isolating the
differences between applications inside
the container so that everything
outside the container can be
standardized.
