Discover containers on IBM Cloud Rapidly deploy containers on IBM Fusion

Modernizing with containers offers numerous advantages for software development and deployment. Containers increase agility and accelerate innovation by enabling faster development cycles and reducing time to market. They improve portability and consistency across different environments, making it easier to move applications between development, testing and production stages.

Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift
Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that provides the foundation for managing containerized applications. Red Hat® OpenShift® is a commercial enterprise-ready container platform built on top of Kubernetes.

Benefits Portability

A container creates an executable package of software that is abstracted away from (not tied to or dependent upon) the host operating system (OS). Hence, it is portable and able to run uniformly and consistently across any platform or cloud. 

Agility

Developing and deploying containers increases agility and allows applications to work in cloud environments that best meet business needs.  

Speed

Containers are “lightweight,” meaning they share the machine’s OS kernel. This feature not only drives higher server efficiencies but also reduces server and licensing costs while speeding up start times, as there is no OS to boot.
