If the analysts at the IEEE Computer Society are correct, the coming year will see significant drops in the cost of cloud services, as well as better, faster performance. Thanks to increasing adoption of container technology, as well as network function virtualization, cloud computing will take some great strides.
Container technology and NFV are among the top nine tech trends identified by IEEE. The container phenomenon is of particular interest for companies moving applications to the cloud, the society’s analysts observe. "Containers represent a smarter and more economical way to make this move," they state. "Containers allow companies to develop and deliver applications faster, and more efficiently."…
Lenny Pruss, an enterprise IT investor, said it best not too long ago: Containers — as exemplified by Docker — "hold the application logic and all of its dependencies, running as an isolated process, and execute the same in any environment," as by "This creates parity between dev and production, and enables developers to confidently break up apps into discreet chunks knowing they’ll run the same from their terminal to test to production."…
