What are containers and why do we need them?

A10 Networks has produced a series of LightTalk in which company solutions architects explain a technical concept such as containers, SYN cookies and hybrid DDoS clouds.

In the first of the series, the speaker describes the evolution from monolithic applications to virtual machines to containers.

Application architectures are rapidly changing in response to the growing adoption of cloud infrastructures, increased application complexity and desire to isolate applications for easier management and visibility.

The benefits are clear: containers are highly portable, scalable and highly available for today’s multi-cloud environments.
