Container technology and work organization

Redistribution

Conclusions

Successful implementation of a container infrastructure is about realistically evaluating the practical situation away from the influence of marketing and hype. My experiences in my own company, as well as conversations, discussions, and interviews at conferences, form the basis of this article. Avoid just blindly using containers! Technology is only one aspect of a sustainable and successful implementation. Processes, procedures, and – last but not least – the people behind them, are much more important factors when it comes to container success.
