Containers package application code and dependencies so apps run reliably across environments. They enable faster development, better portability, and improved security through isolation. Use cases include microservices, AI/ML model deployment, legacy app modernization, and multi-cloud strategies. Compared to VMs, containers are lighter, start faster, and are easier to manage with tools like Kubernetes. Snowpark Container Services let teams run containerized apps directly in Snowflake, avoiding data movement and boosting scalability, security, and performance. This approach streamlines AI workloads and modern app development in the cloud.
