Business managers want new applications and features faster than ever. Developers need efficient, easy-to-use tools for building and releasing software. Administrators want to use resources effectively, maintain security, and comply with regulations. And every team throughout an organization wants to control costs.

Linux® containers and container application platforms, a new category of enterprise software, can help businesses benefit from these advances. But to take advantage of new technologies, IT managers must consider a wide range of activities, teams, and processes that together form the desired but elusive DevOps culture.
