So what’s the difference?
Oracle Application Container Service (ACCS) provides a simple platform for hosting Java SE, Node.js and PHP applications. No prior knowledge of Docker or other container ecosystems is required.
Oracle Container Cloud Service (OCCS) on the other hand doesn’t shy away from the Docker standard of containers. Originating from Oracle’s acquisition of startup StackEngine in late 2015, it provides a slick interface around the management and orchestration of Docker containers for Enterprise.

Let’s consider a Tomcat instance installed at /u01/app/acme-corp/tomcat with our applications at /u01/app/acme-corp/tomcat/webapps.
Packaging
Before we can deploy to ACCS, we would simply add a manifest.json in our Tomcat home (/u01/app/acme-corp/tomcat/manifest.json): Read the complete article here.
