containerising
Putting in boxes
Containerising is the British spelling of containerizing—converting cargo transport to use standardised shipping containers, or in computing, packaging applications into isolated containers that include all dependencies needed to run.
The port spent millions containerising its operations.
The practice revolutionised global shipping and software deployment alike.
