digital containers
Digital containers are lightweight, portable packages that include everything needed to run software applications, such as code, libraries, and system tools. Think of them as virtual boxes that ensure an application works consistently across different computing environments, whether on a developer's laptop, a server, or in the cloud. This portability simplifies deployment, enhances scalability, and improves resource efficiency, making it easier for developers to manage applications and collaborate. Popular container technologies include Docker and Kubernetes, which help orchestrate and manage these containers in a seamless manner.
