Editor's note
Microservices and containers work with one another and ease each other's missteps to improve cloud, development and operations. Microservices utilize the scalability, reusability and resiliency, and containers help with resource productivity.
The first section of this guide covers how microservices and containers work together, what to expect in the coming year and how best to avoid problems.
The next section takes a direct look into Docker. Why is Docker considered the most mainstream container option? How can Docker benefit microservices? Should you look outside of Docker? Find out these answers and more.
If you're pretty confident in your microservices and containers knowledge, test yourself in the quiz section. If you're not ready for testing just yet, refresh yourself with some software technology definitions.
