Deploying an application with a container
As many programming languages are invented, and technologies evolve, this creates new challenges. Different application stacks require different hardware and software deployment environments. Often, there is a need to run applications across different platforms and migrate from one platform to another. Solutions require something that can run anything everywhere and is consistent, lightweight, and portable.
Just as shipping containers standardize the transport of freight goods, software containers standardize the transport of applications.
