Container as a Service (CaaS) is a managed cloud service model that delivers a complete environment for running, orchestrating, and scaling containerized applications. CaaS platforms provide core components such as container registries, orchestration engines (e.g., Kubernetes), networking, storage integrations, monitoring, and security tools. By abstracting infrastructure management, CaaS enables developers to focus on application development and deployment, while the platform automates provisioning, scaling, load balancing, and lifecycle management of containers. CaaS supports integration with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows, allowing for rapid, consistent software delivery across hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge environments. The service is designed for flexibility, cost efficiency, and operational consistency, supporting both cloud-native and legacy workloads without requiring extensive refactoring.
