Whether it's Docker or Windows Server or some other platform, there is no escape from container technology -- and that's a good thing.

Take this brief quiz and see where your organization lies along the container spectrum. If you haven't yet investigated or implemented application containers in your software development efforts, it just might be time to break out of the box.
