This is a beginner-friendly blog for anyone learning about containers and their importance in the world of DevOps.
What is a Container or Containerization?
A container, in simple terms, is something that holds or contains an object. It is a package containing the necessary dependencies, software tools and libraries needed to run an application in any environment - whether on a developer's laptop, test server or cloud.
This eliminates the common problem of 'It works on my machine but not yours?' by ensuring the application works and behaves the same way across different systems.
