Container Technologies - TSV

Container technology is a virtualization approach that packages applications with their dependencies to run consistently across any environment. Compared to traditional virtual machines, containers are lightweight and start quickly, providing consistent environments from development to production. Key tools include Docker, Kubernetes, Podman, and containerd, which serve as the foundation for cloud-native development. As of 2025, over 90% of organizations use or evaluate containers, with adoption expanding into new areas such as AI/ML workloads and edge computing.
