Containers in computing are essentially standard units of software that can be used to package and store code, including all the code's dependencies, or software that the code relies on to run, making them highly portable and efficient. Containers differ from Virtual Machines (VMs) in terms of speed, size, and security, with containers being ideal for DevOps teams who prioritize speed, portability, and running multiple containerized applications on one server, while VMs are better suited for workloads that require utmost security or full OS capabilities. The Kubernetes platform is an open-source management tool for containers and containerized workloads, providing services such as automated deployment, scaling, and management, increasing efficiency by automating manual processes. Cloud computing services offer a natural fit with containers, providing isolated environments, cloud storage options, and automated management of containerized applications, making it an ideal choice for companies adopting containerized workloads to increase productivity and functionality while decreasing management time and resources.
