Containerization

Overview of Containerization

Containerization is a lightweight method of packaging applications together with their dependencies—such as libraries, runtime, and configuration—into isolated, portable units called containers. These containers can run consistently across different environments, from development laptops to cloud servers, without the “it works on my machine” problem. As applications grow more complex and need to run reliably across diverse environments, containerization provides a modern solution that improves efficiency, consistency, and scalability.
