As a result, containers are more resource-friendly but also come with the advantage of isolating the container application from the host OS. The containerization is a process in which applications, its components, configurations and dependencies are packed in a single file known as containers.Ĭontainers are similar to virtual machines, but instead of running complete OS and all its services, they depend on host OS for the most part. Docker is a popular tool used by DevOps teams to create, deploy and run applications as portable containers.
