Containers are lightweight, stand-alone, portable, self-contained software execution environments that have their own CPU, memory, I/O, and networking resources but share the kernel of the host operating system, utilizing linux namespaces and cgroups to create resource isolation. Containers offer low startup overhead compared to virtual machines running on a hypervisor, making them an attractive option for development and software packaging. Kubernetes is a popular open-source container orchestration engine that provides self-healing, scaling, scheduling, and rolling updates of containerized applications. Redis Enterprise offers a high-performance, low-latency in-memory NoSQL solution with data persistence, automatic failovers, backups, and replication across datacenters, and its Kubernetes service enables easy deployment and management on a cluster.
