Containers
Containers are a form of operating system virtualisation that allows developers to isolate and package up all or part of an application, effectively into a portable building block. Open-source Docker and Google-backed Kubernetes are both high-profile example of container technology, with IBM, Microsoft and Red Hat all championing the use of the former within their products and environments.
