Just as we would need resources with a service running on a standalone server, we need to ensure that the resources (such as CPU, memory, and disk input and output) that are being used by our containers do not cause our production environments or any other containers to crash. By monitoring the resources used in our development system, we can help optimize processes and ensure that the end-user is experiencing seamless operation when we move it into production.
