  **3.1.4 Production-ready Containers Images**
  
  Containers are the key for modular cloud solutions, which allows integrating multiple vendors 
  by isolating pieces of software so they can run independently. All IBM container images that 
  are provided in IBM Cloud Paks follow a set of well-defined best practices and guidelines, 
  which ensures support for production use cases and consistency across the IBM software 
  portfolio. 
  
  IBM Cloud Paks employs Kubernetes resources to deploy, manage, and monitor the 
  workloads. Configurations are pre-built but easily customized by using the Kubernetes 
  operators during deployment. Upgrades can be easily rolled out or rolled back.
