Containers: Where Linux host networking meets network infrastructure

Modern data center applications have evolved from a monolithic development architecture, in which an entire application ran on a single host or virtual machine (VM), to lightweight Linux-based containers. The use of software container platforms, such as Docker, help facilitate applications to be packaged independently from the underlying infrastructure, without incurring the operational overhead of a virtual machine. Containers provide a simple method to deploy and run distributed applications, and can also be used to create “microservices,” in which specific elements of an application are distributed across a number of containers.
