There is a lot of pressure on enterprise IT to adopt cloud, and rightfully so.

A container is a type of an operating system virtualization which helps in the efficient running of applications across platforms with minimum consumption of resources. As a matter of fact, a single container can be used to run anything from necessary executables to libraries, configuration files or even basic or advanced binary codes. Containers are lightweight and portable, a major point to consider while deploying them in cloud.
