# Serverless Containers overview

The Serverless Containers lets you run containerized applications in a secure, fault-tolerant, and scalable environment without creating or maintaining VMs. The service allocates the resourced need to run the application.

As the number of container invocations increases, it automatically scales up: Serverless Containers creates additional instances of the container.
