Editor's note
Similar to pop culture trends, the IT market goes in cycles -- what's irrelevant one day can become popular again. And thanks to the open source container platform Docker, container technology again dominates the cloud market chatter.
Docker packages Linux applications and their dependencies in containers, which puts a new spin on container-based virtualization. Many cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google, are on board with the technology, offering support or developing features around Docker containers. But as more vendors further the container movement, it's vital for enterprises to keep up with the latest developments and features.
Despite Docker's rapidly growing popularity among vendors, enterprise adoption of the container technology moves at a slower pace. Find out where Docker is heading, the latest technology developments, as well as what other container options are cropping up, with this complete guide.
