Introduction to Docker
Docker is an open-source platform that enables developers to automate the deployment and management of applications inside lightweight, isolated containers. A container is a standalone executable package that includes everything needed to run an application, including the code, runtime, libraries, and system tools. Docker provides a consistent environment for applications to run across different operating systems and infrastructures.
The following are some of the benefits of using Docker for software development and testing:
Portability: Docker containers are self-contained and isolated, allowing applications to run consistently across different environments, such as development, testing, and production. This eliminates the “it works on my machine” problem and simplifies the deployment process.
Scalability: Docker enables easy ...
