Containerization and Orchestration
Learn how containers and orchestrators like Kubernetes package and run SaaS applications consistently across environments in a CI/CD pipeline.
The Problem Containers Solve
Software behaves differently across machines because of mismatched libraries and configs. Containers package an app with all its dependencies so it runs identically everywhere.
This kills the classic 'it works on my machine' problem.
Containers vs Virtual Machines
VMs virtualize an entire operating system and are heavy. Containers share the host kernel and isolate only the application, making them lightweight and fast to start.
You can run many containers where you would run a few VMs.
