# Containers

A container is a software unit that packages up code and all its dependencies, allowing applications to run quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another either on a PC, in a traditional IT environment, or in the cloud.

Containers are small, fast, and portable because, unlike a virtual machine, they don't need to include the guest operating system in each instance, and instead can use the host operating system's features and resources.

Manage containers which are presented in the form of cards showing all their status. Click on each card to open the container directly.

Click the cluster dropdown to filter by cluster.
