Application containers have quickly gained popularity as businesses continue to build and deploy applications in the cloud or on-premise. In fact, according to a recent study conducted by 451 Research, application containers will be a $2.7 billion market by 2020. This trend toward “containerization” is due to container simplicity, consistency, modularity and portability.
Modern businesses are utilizing application containerization to deploy and run applications both in the cloud and in on-premise data centers, without being forced to launch an entire virtual machine (VM) for every individual app.
