The idea of running applications within containers – also known as operating system (OS) level virtualisation – is not . The origins of the technology can be traced back to the days of the mainframe.

Have you ever spent hours setting up a development environment, only to find that your application behaves differently on another machine? Or perhaps you’ve wrestled with dependency conflicts that ...
