Daily Term: Containerization

Containerization

Containerization is the process of bundling an application and its dependencies (libraries, runtime, etc.) into a single, lightweight unit called a container. Containers run consistently across different environments, from development to production, using technologies like Docker. They provide isolation, portability, and efficient resource usage compared to virtual machines, but they require careful management of storage, networking, and security in large-scale deployments.
