Why This Matters

Containers are essential for modern DevOps because:

  • Portability: Applications run consistently across environments
  • Scalability: Easy horizontal scaling and resource optimization
  • Microservices: Enable microservice architectures and service mesh
  • CI/CD: Streamlined build, test, and deployment pipelines
  • Resource Efficiency: Better resource utilization than traditional VMs

Next you will apply these concepts in automation and delivery practices.
