Description

An ephemeral container is a type of web application that is designed to be up and running only temporarily. Unlike traditional web applications which are long-term, ephemeral containers are designed to quickly spin up, perform their task and then terminate. This enables organizations to quickly deploy or scale their applications without having to worry about long-term maintenance or management. Ephemeral containers are typically used for tasks such as batch processing, microservices, and other short-term projects. They are often used in combination with container orchestration tools such as Kubernetes and Docker Swarm, which allow for the deployment and management of multiple containers. Ephemeral containers make use of cloud computing technologies and are considered to be a cost-effective solution for quickly deploying applications. They are also beneficial for organizations as they enable them to quickly scale their applications up or down, making them more agile and efficient.
