Docker Overview
Well Docker covers over 32 percent of market share of the containerization technologies. And as per the estimation it is expected to grow more. In general any of containerization software allows you to run without launching an entire Virtual Machine.
By the help of Docker we can redundant the repetitive and time-consuming configuration tasks. And this will helps in quick and efficient development of applications for both desktop and cloud environments. And we always prefer that to become efficient in Docker you must get a clear understanding of its underlying architecture and other underpinnings.
In this tutorial you will explore the overview of Docker and also understand how various components of Docker work and interact with each other.
What is Docker?
Docker is an open-source platform and that is best for developing, delivering and running applications. And Docker makes detachment of applications from infrastruture very easily and that helps in quick software delivery. And Docker will also shortens the time between the code creation and deployment by coordinating infrastructure management with application processing.
All the application and runs in packaged and that are run inside of containers which are loosely isolated enviornments in the Docker ecosystem. And due to this isolation more containers can run concurrently on a single host, improving security. As they are lightweight, containers eliminate the need for host setups by encapsulating all requirements for application execution. As containers are constant across shared environments and collaboration is very smooth.
Docker provides us with comprehensive tooling and a platform and thathelps to managing the container lifecycle -
(1)We can develop applications and support their components by use of containers.
(2)We can use containers as the distribution and testing unit for all of your applications.
(3)Docker helps you to deploy applications into all environments seamlessly and consistently, whether on local data centers, cloud platforms, or hybrid infrastructures. | | |
