PC Magazine - Containers, Explained
From a technology standpoint, containers are the catalyzing agent of that DevOps equation. They're the convenient package through which DevOps and IT teams can quickly and consistently pass an application's code, configurations, and dependencies back and forth. "Because containers are an OS technology, you can run them anywhere, be it virtual hosts or a public cloud," says Lars Hermann, General Manager of the Integrated Solutions Business Unit at Red Hat. When it comes to implementing modern application architectures and DevOps principles within an enterprise, containers are the answer to a number of problems. Particularly when the organization is entrenched in legacy technology and traditional development policies, containers are the easily integrated platform underneath that can smooth the transition and make it easy on the IT department. Rich Sharples, Senior Director of Product Management for Middleware at Red Hat, said it's all about delivering quality software at a faster cadence. All companies are looking to put out software faster to compete in their own markets, and that pressure often falls on an overworked IT department. Sharples said containers are a way to produce applications and services that can be changed faster–be it adding a new feature or a critical security fix–while maintaining quality.
