Containers are the key technical enablers for tremendously accelerated deployment and innovation cycles. Think of containers as the packaging for microservices that separate the content from its environment – the underlying operating system and infrastructure. In production, containers are easy to replicate.

Some of the most important elements include: No single point of failure (SPOF): You must eliminate any SPOF in the database environment, including any potential for an SPOF in physical or virtual hardware. Without enough infrastructure (physical or virtualized servers, networking, etc.), there cannot be high availability.
