Container-first as a cloud adoption strategy

What if, before you started migrating all of your applications to a specific cloud-specific provider, you instead containerize your applications first and then migrate them to the cloud. This is sometimes referred to as a container-first strategy. There are several significant benefits to this approach:

• Abstracting platform-specific knowledge from application teams
• Gaining operational efficiency (usually in the range of 15% to 70%) from containerized applications
• It gives you the ability you move your applications between on-premise and any cloud providers with minimal effort
