Containerization
Containerization is a software architecture concept that involves encapsulating an application and its dependencies into a single, portable unit called a container. This approach allows for consistent deployment across various computing environments, as containers can run independently of the underlying infrastructure. By isolating applications, containerization enhances scalability, resource efficiency, and simplifies management in development and production settings.
