Would you like to be able to move, share or publish your software without worrying whether it will work properly on other computers? Containerization enables software to be deployed and run across a range of computing environments (Windows, Mac, Linux) without having to be re-installed or re-compiled.  Containerization enables workflows to be easily packaged and shared across platforms, enhancing reproducibility and portability. 

This hands-on tutorial by CU Research Computing staff will provide an introduction to containers and the basics of using containers with "Apptainer", a containerization software that can be used anywhere and which is compatible containers from other popular packages, such as Docker.
