Containerization

ˌkɒntɛɪnəraɪˈzeɪʃən

Containerization is a lightweight form of virtualization that allows applications to run in isolated environments called containers. Each container packages an application and its dependencies, ensuring consistency across different computing environments. This technology is particularly useful in cloud computing and microservices architecture, where it facilitates scalability and deployment efficiency. Common use cases include deploying applications in a DevOps pipeline, enabling continuous integration and delivery, and running multiple applications on the same host without conflicts.
