Better ROI from Software Development

#41: Containers, Docker, Kubernetes and Serverless - explaining Containers and Docker

Over the next few episodes I want to introduce a number of technologies from modern Software Delivery.

These are:

  • Containers
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • And Serverless

There are "hot" technologies within Software Development at the moment.

They are helping Software Teams:

  • Get Better ROI when spending      on Computer Server resource
  • Improving the speed to market
  • Allowing for more complex and      ambitious solutions

These are technologies that your Development Team may want to use or may even be using.

In the last episode I explained Virtualisation; a technology that makes the other possible.

In this episode I will introduce Containers and the Docker Container format - possibly one of the most useful advancements in recent years in providing repeatable and reliable software distribution.
