Abstract
The goal of the project QLEAP (2022-24), funded by Business Finland and participating organizations, was to study using containers as elements of architecture design. Such systems include containerized AI systems, using containers in a hybrid setup (public/hybrid/private clouds), and related security concerns. The consortium consists of four companies that represent different concerns over using containers (Bittium, M-Files, Solita/ADE Insights, Vaadin) and one research organization (University of Jyv\"askyl\"a). In addition, it has received support from two Veturi companies - Nokia and Tietoevry - who have also participated in steering the project. Moreover, the SW4E ecosystem has participated in the project. This document gathers the key lessons learned from the project.
