Issue 17: Containers

This issue of Increment shares practical considerations and functional approaches to containerization, and examines the container ecosystem’s scope, scale, and panoramic possibilities.  Articles explore how developers can use containers to build more flexible, reliable, and scalable systems, how to strengthen container security and achieve continuous compliance with best practices, and how to leverage the three pillars of observability to collect more valuable container data. The issue also covers topics such as how engineering leaders can effectively support teams considering a container migration, and how to harness open-source software and open specifications to enable a move to the cloud. Plus, we interview Kubernetes co-creator Joe Beda about the origins and evolution of the project, and speak to engineering leaders at Datadog, Braze, and BetterUp about their approaches to container tools, testing, monitoring, and migration.
