Global enterprise IT organizations have now recognized the benefits of adopting containers for developing and deploying workflows. This is because containers provide businesses with a way to automate the deployment of modern applications at scale. Containers also provide a more cost-effective method of deployment, as applications start up faster, consume less resources, and are portable and environment-agnostic, all of which translates into cost savings.
The usage of containers across enterprises is already on the upswing. Gartner estimates that “90% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production by 2026—up from 40% in 2021. In addition, by 2026 20% of all enterprise applications will run in containers—up from fewer than 10% in 2020.”
