 ENTERPRISE CONTAINER STRATEGY
Many enterprise organisations are beginning to appreciate the
significant advantages that containers bring to the way they
build, ship and run applications.
Because containers are in many ways a step change in how we
deliver applications, enterprises typically need support with
container adoption in order to:

Align on where and how containers should

be used.
Understand the implications for enterprise
architecture.
Develop a governance model around
the use of containers incorporating
development, deployment and operations.
Understand the best practices for successful
and secure operational deployment.

Our Enterprise Container Strategy supports

and accelerates the process of adoption
and successful production deployment of
containers. It brings to bear a structure and
rigorous program that moves you towards
building, shipping and running c ontainerised
