Container image

Combine filters →

The image is the deliverable: built elsewhere, pushed to a registry, run as it arrives. That moves the build off the platform entirely — any language, any system package, any version — and the trade is responsibility, since nothing inside the image is patched by anyone but its author. Only that arrangement is recorded here. A platform that merely runs each application in a container while code arrives by git push is containers as a service instead, and a Dockerfile the platform builds from a commit is git — what was handed over was a commit.

Which of these providers is best?

We don't know. A static portfolio and a busy shop need different things from a host, and so do a freelancer and an agency with forty client sites. Nobody pays to be listed here and the order is alphabetical. The guide covers what to compare.
