Containers
Containers are a modular way of abstracting complete computing environments as lightweight, near-universally executable software-defined objects, including virtualized infrastructure and internal networking, OS and applications that can run on bare metal, or other OS CPUs or VMs.
While forms of containers have been around since the mainframe days, containers as we know them became popular with Docker in the early 2010s and later as part of the Kubernetes container orchestration project.
