1. Unraveling Containers
& Why Container
Adoption is Soaring
What are Containers?
A container isolates an application and its
dependencies into a self-contained unit that can
run anywhere. It provides operating-system-level
virtualization by abstracting the “user space”.

What is the Purpose of Containerization?
Difference between Containers and Virtual Machines
Containerization provides a clean separation
of concerns, as developers focus on their
application logic and dependencies, IT
operations teams can focus on deployment
and management.
Containers virtualize the OS. Every container has
its own CPU, memory, block I/O, network stack,
but share the same kernel as other containers
on the same host.
VMs virtualize the hardware. Every VM carries its
own OS on top of the hypervisor and host OS.
of container adopters run more than 100 instances today and
the large-scale containerization ranks are growing.
