What is a container?

What are containers, why are they used, and what makes them effective for cloud-computing? In this lightboard explainer, Sai Vennam covers a number of advantages, starting with how containers are great for microservices (evolved from SOA, monolithic architectures), a standardized way to package an application (covering OCI, Docker, buildah, containerd, and more), and efficient in sharing resources (compared to VMs).
