One, understand your security requirements. Two, document your compliance requirements. Three, recognize your host resource requirements. Four, map out precisely what your container life cycle looks like or will look like. | |   | Here's a bonus tip, selecting the right monitoring tool or a combination of multiple tools will help you gain the right level of visibility into your environment as it grows. | |   | Think your organization is ready for containers?
