What is containerized application?

Tuesday, 12 December 2023 by virginie Kalenzi

A containerized application, in the context of Cloud Computing and specifically in relation to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), refers to the practice of packaging an application and its dependencies into a self-contained unit called a container. This containerization approach enables the application to run consistently and reliably across different computing
