Docker is known worldwide as a popular application containerization platform. It makes projects more efficient, faster, scalable, easy to debug, simple, and lightweight. It removes machine-based dependencies, like any application that runs on an X machine but cannot run on a Y machine. Docker has huge community support that makes it more reliable and convenient.
There are some common terminology that are ambiguous. They are:
- Docker Hub is an open-source repository hub where container images are stored.
- Docker Compose is a tool that defines and runs multi-container applications.
- Docker Engine builds and containerizes applications.
- Docker Desktop is a GUI-based docker maintaining tool.
- Docker Build Cloud is a cloud-based service that builds container images on a cloud infrastructure.
Why we should use docker?
- It makes applications scalable, flexible, and portable to run.
- It provides consistent environments which is important for application testing, development, teamwork, security, and performance.
- This is lightweight architecture so it is very resource efficient in any machine.
- Users can run multiple versions of applications at a time, without interrupting them each other.
