Brief Introduction to Docker

If you have not caught about Docker, then you hold seemingly wasted the last few years toward some other planet of the Solar System. Docker spat into our industry moreover against no time dramatically transformed extremely well-established software development including operational practices and patterns. Certain days much satisfying each organization is using Docker (or the equivalent of IT), the strong things even in production, including its enactment, signifies growing at an incredible step.

Docker is a tool designed to get it easier to create, deploy, and run applications appropriating containers. Containers enable a developer to package up an application including all of the parts it requires, such as libraries including other dependencies and dispatch it all out as one package. On executing acknowledgments to the container, the developer can feel relax ensured that the application will work or run on any other Linux machine regardless of any customized settings that machine sway have that could vary from the machine used for writing and testing the code.

Towards, Docker is a bit like a virtual machine, however unlike a virtual machine, rather than creating a whole virtual OS (operating system), Docker permits applications to use the corresponding Linux kernel as the system that they're running on and only needs applications to be transmitted with things not already running on the host computer. This contributes a vital performance boost and reduces the size of the application. Also importantly, Docker is an open-source tool. This indicates that anyone can contribute to Docker and extend it to meet their personal needs if people need further features that aren't possible outside of the box.

Who is Docker for?
 

Docker is a tool, designed to benefit both Developers and System Administrators, presenting it a part of several DevOps (developers + operations) toolchains:

For developers, it means that everybody can concentrate on writing code without annoying about the system that it will sequentially be running on. It also provides them to arrange a head start by using one of the thousands of programs already designed to run in a Docker container being a part of their application. 

For operations staff, Docker provides flexibility and potentially decreases the number of systems required because of its tiny footprint and lower overhead.
