Containers have revolutionized the industry by providing an high degree of isolation and customization while allowing to consolidate resources and ease deployment and orchestration. Pioneered by Docker, containers are now the most used and widely preferred way to deploy new applications since they are easy to build, deploy and orchestrate yet they provide more customization to developers.
Containers are now the foundation of modern infrastructures and applications.
While containers are now widely deployed and used and they mostly provide the same flexibility of virtual machines, they have limitations and sometimes they are not the best option for a specific workload or deployment scenario. Virtual machines still provide the best option when you need to fully customize your environment and run very specific workloads.
Virtual machines also are your best option when you need to achieve enhanced security and isolation.
The best flexibility is provided by a service that brings to you the the best of both worlds. You can enjoy the flexibility and simplicity of containers while still achieving the maximum customization and isolation with virtual machines.
We can provide such environments to you, so you can focus on deploying your applications and services with maximum confidence.
While the issue of multi-tenancy is still an open issue with containers, given the lack of a proper kernel isolation solution, we can provide to you the only multi-tenancy enabled solution on the market via Windows Server.
Your containers can be secured using Windows Server kernel-isolation features that enhance security when running hostile or untrusted code. This is especially useful if you’re planning to deploy .NET applications.
