Cloud Container

Definitions

1. A containerized workload running in a cloud-managed environment, often on orchestration platforms or serverless container services. Cloud containers package application code with its runtime and dependencies while relying on the cloud platform for scheduling, networking, and scaling behavior.

   In plain English: A containerized application running on cloud infrastructure.

   Example: "The team moved the image processor into a cloud container service so it could scale on demand without managing VMs directly."
