Containers are widely used for deploying and managing applications in the cloud.
They allow you to package code into a single object, isolating it from other components and eliminating dependencies.
Containers run in isolation and are a fundamental concept in microservices architectures.
Having an application in a container simplifies debugging because it operates within an isolated environment.
This consistency ensures that the container remains the same, regardless of where it is deployed.

Designing for scale is crucial when using containers, as your environment may expand to include tens of hosts running hundreds of containers.
It’s essential to plan for managing operations effectively at scale.
