and deploy databases for development and testing, using identical, pre-built images. • Reduce costs: Containerized databases require fewer resources than their VM equivalents. Increase density or use smaller shapes. • Portable: Run images anywhere: On-prem, cloud, laptop. • Scaleable: Add/remove containers according to demand. • Reliable: Consistent, verifiable images produce identical results. • Secure: Codified installation, and minimal, visible filesystems improves vulnerability scanning and detection.
