Abstract

Containerization has become a fundamental methodology in modern software architectures, transforming the paradigms of application development, deployment, and scaling. By encapsulating the applications and their dependencies in light, portable containers, organizations can attain a higher level of scalability, portability, and resource utilization. In this research, the development of containerization technologies with a special focus on their role in simplifying current software architectures is explored. While a detailed exploration of containerization in current literature is undertaken, there exists a notable research gap in its integration into large-scale systems, with special focus on the management of resources, fault tolerance, and orchestration in highly dynamic systems.
