Docker enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure so you can deliver software quickly With docker, you can manage your infrastructure in the same ways you manage your applications. In short, the docker engine is the runtime that makes containerization possible by connecting the docker client with the daemon to build and manage containers efficiently. To use docker, install it on your platform and build your first docker image by writing a dockerfile Docker creates packaged applications called containers Each container provides an isolated environment similar to a virtual machine (vm)
Unlike vms, docker containers don't run a full operating system. Think of a container as a mini. Now that we understand containers, let’s talk about docker, the platform that has made containers mainstream What is docker and why should you use it But what exactly is a docker container And why do we need docker?
This is different from virtual machines (vms), which encapsulate an entire os with executable code on top of an abstracted layer of physical hardware resources Docker was created to work on the linux platform.
