DevOps practices, such as Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery, are used to drive microservice deployments.

What is TEU and FEU?

What is GP in container?

GP, or General Purpose containers are the standard size; they have an external height of 2.6m (8′ 6”). HC, or High Cube containers have the added height clearance; they have an external height of 2.9m (9′ 6”).
