Containers are packaged software code along with the required operating system libraries and dependencies. This allows you to execute these lightweight containers across different infrastructure environments with great consistency.

Now that developers don’t need to write code for specific environments, there are fewer bugs and much better performance even when you move the application from one environment to another.
