What is a Docker container?

Docker containers can be understood as running instances of Docker images. Any number of containers can be launched using a single Docker image. Suppose we launched four containers using four different images:

  • Container 3: Java installed
  • Container 4: Firefox installed

The advantages we have while launching different containers for different uses are as follows:
