Snippet from Wikipedia: Containerization

Containerization is a system of intermodal freight transport using intermodal containers (also called shipping containers, or ISO containers). Containerization, also referred as container stuffing or container loading, is the process of unitization of cargoes in exports. Containerization is the predominant form of unitization of export cargoes today, as opposed to other systems such as the barge system or palletization. The containers have standardized dimensions. They can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and transferred from one mode of transport to another—container ships, rail transport flatcars, and semi-trailer trucks—without being opened. The handling system is mechanized so that all handling is done with cranes and special forklift trucks. All containers are numbered and tracked using computerized systems.

Containerization originated several centuries ago but was not well developed or widely applied until after World War II, when it dramatically reduced the costs of transport, supported the post-war boom in international trade, and was a major element in globalization. Containerization eliminated manual sorting of most shipments and the need for dock front warehouses, while displacing many thousands of dock workers who formerly simply handled break bulk cargo. Containerization reduced congestion in ports, significantly shortened shipping time, and reduced losses from damage and theft.

Containers can be made from a wide range of materials such as steel, fibre-reinforced polymer, aluminum or a combination. Containers made from weathering steel are used to minimize maintenance needs.

• Provide a Anthos glossary of the top 40 Anthos concepts sorted by the most commonly used. For each concept include a brief description and the URL for the ZZZ official documentation. Answer using MediaWiki format.

Creating a glossary for the top 40 Anthos concepts, prioritized by common usage, involves delving into Anthos's multifaceted platform. Anthos is a modern application management platform that extends Google Cloud services and engineering practices to your environments. This platform allows you to build and manage modern hybrid and multi-cloud applications using a consistent platform across your on-premises and cloud environments.

Given the extensive and detailed nature of Anthos, the following glossary will provide an introduction to some of the foundational and commonly used concepts within the Anthos ecosystem. This overview is meant to serve as a starting point, and expanding to a full list of 40 concepts would include more specific tools, APIs, and practices unique to Anthos.

This glossary outlines fundamental concepts within the Anthos platform, focusing on commonly used terms and functionalities to provide a foundational understanding of Anthos's capabilities.
