Konteiners

Konteiners, also known as containerization, is a form of operating-system-level virtualization where the kernel of an operating system allows multiple isolated user-space instances, known as containers, to run on a single operating system instance. Each container runs as an isolated process in user space on the host operating system, sharing the kernel resources. This differs from traditional virtual machines, which emulate an entire hardware system to run a complete operating system.

The primary benefit of containerization is its efficiency. Containers are lightweight, meaning they start up quickly and consume fewer resources than virtual machines. This allows for higher density of applications on a given hardware, leading to better resource utilization and cost savings. They also provide a consistent environment for applications, ensuring that software runs the same way regardless of where it is deployed, from a developer's laptop to a production server.

Popular containerization technologies include Docker and Kubernetes. Docker is a platform that enables developers to build, ship, and run applications in containers. Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Containerization has become a fundamental technology in modern software development and deployment, underpinning microservices architectures and cloud-native applications.
