As it turns out, breaking up your application into a bunch of tiny pieces can be way more efficient than running it as a monolith. Thanks to containers, organizations can fine-tune their IT resources to match demand. But setting up and managing a containerized infrastructure is no small task.
Cedric Clyburn, Red Hat Open Source Engineer and Developer Advocate, talks us through why containers now dominate cloud computing—and shares some advice on how to keep track of them all.
