There are many reasons behind the increasing popularity of container technologies. Docker’s open-sourced Docker Engine launched in 2013, helping bring containers to a critical mass. According to a recent survey by Datamation, 31% of enterprises are now using container technologies, while an additional 29% are planning on using containers.

Here are some of the benefits of implementing containers:

• Containers lower application development overhead when compared with traditional virtual machine environments based on hardware.
• Containers offer better portability, by enabling application deployment across different OSes and hardware platforms.
• Containers enable DevOps teams to achieve consistency—aiding in faster application deployment, patching and scaling.
• More importantly, containers support DevOps and Agile principles toward better and more optimized development of applications.

Containers are lightweight infrastructure components which allow applications to be deployed easily—making them a perfect infrastructure technology for enabling microservices application architecture.

Foghorn’s experienced engineers can help transform your container security experience, enabling safe, compliant architectures that meet DevOps promises.
