Containers use an open platform for developing, deploying, and running applications. Containerization enables you to create an image that includes an operating system, some of the extend products, your application, any binaries or libraries that your application depends on, and any configuration details. Once an image has been created you can run that image in a container.
Starting with 10.5.0, samples for both Windows and Linux platforms have been added that enable you to work with images and containers. These samples show you how to run a COBOL program in a container using AcuThin and AcuToWeb.
The new samples are located in the samples/containerization folder of your ACUCOBOL-GT compiler installation.
For complete information on using containers with ACUCOBOL-GT, see the Working with Containerization Technologies section in A Guide to Interoperating with ACUCOBOL-GT.
