DevOps automation has become an integral part of large-scale digital transformation projects. Companies have realized that automating their delivery pipelines will not only shorten the release cycle but also help in bringing products faster to market.\u00a0<\/span>DevOps<\/span><\/a> has broken the traditional silos between the Dev and Ops team and furthermore\u00a0<\/span>one of the Gartner studies<\/span><\/a> states that DevOps culture strategy will be adopted by 25% of the Global 2000 organizations in the near future. Along with the quick adoption of DevOps, a lot of companies are also investing in containers. Thanks to Docker, the pioneers of container technology<\/a>, the trend is catching up rapidly. From faster deployment to saving cost, container technologies are adopted for multiple benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why use container technologies?<\/b><\/h2>\n

According to <\/span>THENEWSTACK<\/span><\/a> outlined below are some of the top reasons why companies prefer using containers:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Container-adoption\"<\/p>\n

Apart from the aforementioned reasons, below are some of the other important factors making a strong case for containers:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. As containers are lightweight, flexible and comprehensive, it can help reducing shipping time of application.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Containers help in reducing the time needed in the process of development, <\/span>testing,<\/span><\/a> and deployment of applications.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. With containers, bug tracking and the testing process becomes less complicated as there is no such difference between running the applications on a test server, in production or locally.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Containers help to accelerate the development process, which aims at minimizing the cycle time of writing code to testing and deploying it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Container technologies<\/span><\/a> enable the business to release new software at a much faster rate, thereby bringing agility.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. When compared to VMs, containers help increase the scalability from 10 to 100 times, which reduce cost.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    According to <\/span>Cloud-Enabling Technologies Market Monitor Report,<\/span><\/a> the application container market will grow from $762m in 2016 to $2.7bn by 2020<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Container-technology-to-adopt<\/p>\n

    Docker, the pioneers in container technology is a popular container tool for multiple companies. Alex Polvi, CEO of CoreOS stated “Docker now is building tools for launching cloud servers, systems for clustering, and a wide range of functions: building images, running images, uploading, downloading and eventually even overlay networking, all compiled into one monolithic binary running primarily as root on your server,”<\/span><\/p>\n

    Following are some reasons for enterprises to opt for Docker:<\/b><\/h2>\n
