7 Benefits of Containerization
Blog post from LaunchDarkly
Containerization is a software development process that involves bundling an application's code with all the files and libraries needed to run on any infrastructure, making it easier to consistently deploy applications across different computing environments. Containers are self-sufficient software packages containing everything required to run an application, including executables, binary code, libraries, dependencies, and configuration files. Containerization enables developers to create and manage containers using tools based on the Open Container Initiative (OCI) image specification. Key benefits of containerization include portability, efficiency, agility, faster delivery, improved security, quicker startup times, and flexibility.
