Containerization platform that packages applications with their dependencies into portable containers. Enhances Compatibility by enabling co-existence of multiple software versions and providing interoperability across different operating systems and cloud platforms. Improves Flexibility through high adaptability to different deployment environments, horizontal scalability via container orchestration, simplified installability with consistent deployment processes, and easy replaceability of containerized components. Strengthens Reliability by providing fault tolerance through container isolation, improved availability via quick container restarts and health checks, and enhanced recoverability with immutable container images and rollback capabilities. Supports Sustainability by ensuring software remains functional across new platforms through containerization, meeting evolving deployment needs, and maintaining long-term accessibility of research software environments.
