What is AppWrap?
AppWrap is an application containerization and packaging solution that enables developers to wrap applications along with their runtime dependencies into standalone executable bundles. These application packages can then be easily deployed and run across different environments and platforms such as desktops, servers, the cloud without having to worry about underlying infrastructure differences.
Some key capabilities and benefits of AppWrap include:
- Simplified application deployment - Applications packaged with AppWrap contain all necessary dependencies and configs eliminating environment configuration concerns
- Cross-platform portability - Appwrapped apps can run consistently across Windows, Linux, MacOS without changes
- Application isolation and sandboxing - Each app package runs in its own contained sandboxed environment separate from host OS
- Version control and upgrades - AppWrap allows seamless packaging, distribution and upgrade management of specific application versions
- Enhanced security - Applictions run inside the container unable to access sensitive OS components or make unwanted system changes
AppWrap is well-suited for developers looking to simplify and streamline application deployment for themselves or distribute applications to end-users across platforms. The self-contained nature of Appwrapped applications provides consistency, controls and security compared to traditional application installation and configuration.
