Serverless container offerings such as AWS Fargate enable companies to manage and modify containers while abstracting server layers to offer customization without increased complexity. Container-based software isn’t tied to a platform or operating system, so IT teams can move or reconfigure processes easily. CaaS vs. IaaS.

Cloud service providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) , can offer infrastructure with five-nines availability by deploying in multiple availability zones and replicating data between regions. Instead, to speed up response times, applications are now processing most data at the network’s perimeter, closest to the data’s origin.
