FAQs

What is Docker and why is it used?

Docker is an open-source containerization platform. It allows developers to package applications into containers - standardized executable components that combine application source code with the operating system (OS) libraries and dependencies required to run that code in any environment.

close

Why should I use Docker?

Because Docker reduces the need for more infrastructure resources for development and the container created for individual processes can be shared with other applications with instances of these containerized applications using less memory compared to virtual machines - this makes the development and deployment process more cost-effective.

close

Is Docker a virtual machine?

Docker is a container-based technology and containers are just user space of the operating system. ... In Docker, running containers share the host operating system kernel. A virtual machine, on the other hand, is not based on container technology. They are composed of user space plus kernel space of an operating system.
