A container is an organizational piece of software used to keep applications running smoothly.
In the early 21st century, the rise of distributed systems and digital currency has impacted the use of software containers. These containers are now even more prevalent in executing blockchain technology.
Because software containers are still new and found to be extremely useful to software deployment, programmers with this skillset are in high demand. This demand creates a highly lucrative career. Developing new and unique systems may be very difficult; but at the same time may be very rewarding. For example, software patents for types of blockchain technologies are being highly sought after because of the level of difficulty. This opens the door for container patent technology.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office believes that software containers are considered patentable subject matter in certain cases. The United States Patent Office issues many utility patents every week for blockchain and container related technology. For example, this container-based software patent issued to International Business Machines Corp. (https://patents.google.com/patent/US10079719B2/en?q=docker+container&country=US)
