Portability: Container Images are highly portable, and can be easily deployed on different platforms; a Docker image can be deployed on any Container Engine that supports it (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, AWS ECS, AWS EKS, Microsoft AKS, Google Kubernetes Engine, etc).
A container registry is a service to store and maintain images. Container registries can be either public, allowing any user to download the public images, or private, requiring user authentication to manage the images. Examples of Container Registries include but are not limited to: Docker Hub, Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), and Microsoft Azure Container Registry.
Serverless solutions (e.g., AWS Lambda Functions, Microsoft Azure Functions, Google Functions), mainly designed by cloud providers not long ago, are also becoming greatly popular nowadays. Despite the name, serverless architectures are not really without servers. Rather, solution providers went deeper into the virtualization, removing the need the focus on anything but writing the application code. The code is packaged and deployed into specialized “functions” that take care of managing and running it. Serverless solutions paved the way for new concepts, especially Function as a service (FaaS), which promotes the creation and deployment of a single function per serverless application (e.g., one function to send verification emails, as soon as a new user is created).
