Summary

Organizations often deploy containerization on their cloud platforms because it is a very responsive and dynamic way to use virtualization to implement rapidly scalable and ever-evolving applications, using DevOps or CI/CD methodologies.

A container contains just the parts of an operating system that are required to execute the code it processes. The load balancing and managing of hardware resources are done by the parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent of the containers within the containerization platform.
