Containers topped the lists for one of the hottest IT technologies for 2016.<\/p>\n

Serdar Yegulalp<\/a> of Infoworld, for example, wrote that<\/a> “with nearly every major IT product either adopting them outright or building in support for them, containers are guaranteed to continue changing IT through the coming year.” \u00a0Scott Hammond<\/a>, Joyent CEO, said that<\/a> \u201ccontainers are eating the world. \u00a0Everyone is using containers, learning about them, experimenting with them, and you have to wonder why? \u00a0\u00a0As developers, we have this love affair with containers because they allow us to simplify and accelerate the development process, and get from dev to test to runtime very fast\u201d<\/p>\n

Bryan Cantrill<\/a>, CTO of Joyent, explained that<\/a> “Containers are all about developing software faster, getting it from the laptop to the cloud as fast as possible.” \u00a0Matthew Pick<\/a>, tehcnology manager at HBC Digital, said that<\/a> the benefits containers brings to business are: self-healing, portability and speed.<\/p>\n

Containers provide a way to package up software applications, services and scripts as a single unit that can easily be transported into any environment, resized, and spun up or doown, as needed.<\/p>\n

Dave Bartoletti, principal analyst at Forrester, said that<\/a> \u201cModern apps are hybrid, and we are not going back. \u00a0Containers represent the next wave of having the tools we need to start carving applications into smaller bits.\u201d \u00a0Bartoletti said that interest by Forrester clients in containers and how to deploy them has increased by a factor of ten over the last two years.<\/p>\n

But despite the high interest and benefits of containers, uptake by enterprises to date has still been low. \u00a0Forrester found,<\/a> for example, that at this point, only 8 percent of enterprise developers are using containers for production use. \u00a0It seems inevitable that uptake will swing rapidly upwards in 2016.<\/p>\n
