Containers provide developers multiple advantages, including increased speed when deploying and provisioning workloads, higher resource utilization, portability, and cost efficiency compared to virtual machines (VMs).
However, many customers have several thousands of applications written over multiple years running on VM infrastructure using heritage frameworks. For these customers, it would be too time consuming and expensive to rewrite their applications. Therefore, they need tools to modernize workloads and to provide the benefits of modern cloud native environments without incurring the cost of rewriting applications from scratch. The whole value proposition is to decrease customers’ time to market during transformation projects and to augment and optimize traditional workloads with modern cloud infrastructure and services.
