In this approach, each container includes the necessary software, libraries, and configuration files to run the application, making it easier to move the application between different computing environments. Containers are lightweight and allow for better resource allocation, improved scalability, and simplified management. The concept of containerization was popularized by Docker, an open-source platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. Containerization has gained widespread adoption due to its advantages in increasing application portability, enhancing development workflows, and enabling efficient deployment and scaling in cloud computing environments.
