Containerized Applications vs. Traditional Deployment

Containerized Applications vs. Traditional Deployment

The shift to containerization represents a fundamental improvement over traditional methods.

Aspect Traditional Deployment Containerized Application
Dependencies Manually installed on the server, leading to "works on my machine" conflicts. Bundled inside the container. The environment is identical everywhere.
Portability Difficult; application behavior can change between different server configurations. Highly portable. Runs consistently on any system that supports containers.
Isolation Applications can interfere with each other if they require conflicting dependencies. Process-level isolation. Each app runs in its own sandbox, preventing conflicts.
Density & Efficiency Lower; running multiple apps on one server can be complex and resource-heavy. High. Multiple lightweight containers can share a single OS kernel efficiently.
