Information technology expert and author Mike Kavis looked at the latest drive toward container technology and pondered the inevitable question that’s going to come up: technologists have a deep appreciation — or at least understanding — of containers, but does it mean two cents to the business?
At the technical level, containers are time-savers, Mike explains: “Containers can be provisioned in milliseconds, a great improvement over [virtual machines], which take a few minutes. Manual provisioning can take hours to days to even months depending on the access to physical hardware and the processes in place to request a new machine (physical or virtual).”
