Containerization Readiness Guide
As the Federal Government continues to adopt increasingly cutting-edge technologies and embrace large changes to existing Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, containers have become a growing topic of discussion throughout agencies. Some agencies already have budding containerization practices, other agencies are in the process of preparing for and building container capabilities and skills, and still others are early in the maturation process.
This guide provides a basic overview of container technologies to educate agencies that have limited to no containerization maturity. It will help agencies make informed and intelligent decisions on adopting container technologies. Intended as a “Container Readiness Guide,” the reader will first find an overview of container technology and references to external resources for additional learning to set a baseline of terms, definitions, and types of technologies.
