Containers are quickly becoming the defacto standard platform for modern-day application development, however, running containers in a production environment can be complex, and provides a whole new set of challenges over traditional compute.

“Containers are not light weight virtual machines.
They are mostly a clever way to isolate processes”

why use DOCKER?
• Environmental consistencY
• vendor agnostic
• secure by default
• Lightweight / cost effective
• Open source

Managing
containers
at scale
isn’t easy
