Not a deep article, but it will give you the basic idea of container tools such as Kubernetes from Google, Swarm from Docker, and CoreOS. Containers are a tye of virtualization, but they "don't need to make a virtual copy of the host server's hardware features, and they also don't need a full copy of the host operating system to be installed within the container. This enables containers to be orders of magnitude more lightweight and flexible."
