Common Use Cases for Containers

  • Modernizing Legacy Applications ("Lift-and-Shift"): Package existing monolithic applications into containers to make them more portable and easier to manage before refactoring into microservices.‍
  • Microservices Applications: Decompose large applications into smaller, independently deployable services, each running in its own container.‍
  • CI/CD Pipelines: Ensure that the application built, tested, and deployed in the pipeline is identical to the one that runs in production.‍
  • Batch Processing and Data Analytics: Run short-lived, parallelized jobs for data processing or machine learning training in an efficient, isolated manner.
