Jay Gordon

A container virtualizes the underlying OS and causes the containerized app to perceive that it has the OS—including CPU, memory, file storage, and network connections—all to itself.

What is a container based pipeline? In short, it's a pipeline where *each* task runs in a container. The benefit of this is I don't need to spend time configuring my build server or build environment with *all* the necessary dependencies and binaries needed for my pipeline.

Testing - it's an important part of a developer's day-to-day, but it's also crucial to the operations engineer. In a world where DevOps is more than just a buzzword, where it's become accepted as a mindset shift and culture change, we *all* need to consider running quality tests.
