Containerization is a concept that takes the idea of virtualization many steps further. It is the process of providing readily deployable applications and their dependencies, preinstalled and preconfigured within individual containers at operating system level. These containers are all isolated user space instances:

With containerization, you no longer require even setting up a virtualized environment, as all of those measures are already taken care of. You can quickly get started with a production-ready interface. Hence we can conclude that containerization boosts productivity by a huge margin.

When we set up containers in a locally accessible system, it is referred to as local containerization. In this section, we are going to continue our discussion on local...
