“enterprises often find themselves hindered by what are effectively “gaps between the rails,” with no direct connectivity between data, systems, and resources.”

I’m not sure moving to containers solves this unless it’s done intentionally. Bigger orgs will always have different parts of their systems built by different developers. Standardizing how applications are deployed will make it easier for them to work together, but there’s still going to be these gaps.
