Run containers in the cloud as easy as a deploy command
Using a Managed Container Service (MSG)
The advantages of using a Managed Container Service (MCS)
- 1
Cost reduction
MCS eliminate the time, effort, and money spent on maintaining secure infrastructure to run your container.
- 2
Flexibility
You can easily move from cloud to cloud or back to your on-prem infrastructure, freeing you from vendor lock-in
- 3
Speed
Since the underlying infrastructure abstracts from it, you can deploy your container quicker.
- 4
Simplicity
Simplify the running process of a software application and improve overall security using vulnerability scans.
- 5
Don’t worry anymore
about managing the hardware that will run your container.
