• Resumen

  • Today, thanks to a variety of converging trends, there is huge interest in container technology, but there is also widespread confusion about just what containers are and how they work. In this article, we cover the history of containers, compare their features to hypervisor-based virtualization, and explain how containers, by virtue of their granular and specific application of virtualization, can provide a superior solution in a variety of situations where traditional virtualization is deployed today.
