What are On-Premises Container Engines?

Container engines are software platforms that facilitate the creation, deployment, and management of containers in a computing environment. Containers are lightweight, portable, and consistent units of software that include everything needed to run an application, such as the code, libraries, and system tools. Container engines enable developers to package and isolate applications in a way that allows them to run uniformly across different environments, making them ideal for cloud, microservices, and DevOps workflows. These engines typically support features like container orchestration, scalability, resource management, and container lifecycle management.
