Arising partly as a reaction to VM sprawl and poor utilization, and partly as a better way to deploy microservices onto shared machines, there’s no doubt that containers are the de facto standard for application deployment today. Outside hyperscale datacenters, containers initially gained popularity with mainstream developers as an easy way to package software and its dependencies, in a reproducible and easily portable fashion. These days though, using containers as a unit of deployment and scaling has hit the mainstream with over half of enterprises now using them, and another third experimenting and planning to use them, for this purpose. Enterprises consistently see improvements in deployment speed, scaling of operations and efficiency in running microservice based workloads in containers.

We give you a single global zone to run your containers and we do the heavy lifting of figuring out where and when to run them to meet your needs.
