What is containerization?

One problem that’s encountered frequently by teams while developing large, complex systems is that the code that works on one machine doesn’t work on another. The main reason behind these kinds of scenarios is a mismatch of dependencies (such as different versions of Java, a certain web server, or OS), configurations, or files.

Also, setting up a new environment to deploy new products sometimes takes a day or more. This is unacceptable in today’s environment and slows down your development turnaround. These kinds of issues can be solved by containerizing the application.

In containerization, an application is bundled, configured, and wrapped with all the required dependencies and files. This bundle can then be run on any machine that supports the containerization process. This bundling ensures that the application displays the exact same behavior in all environments. As a result, bugs related to misconfigurations or dependencies...
