Docker is a technology that allows you to build, run, test, and deploy distributed applications. It uses operating-system-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers.
The way Docker does this is by packaging an application and its dependencies in a virtual container that can run on any computer. This containerization allows for much better portability and efficiency when compared to virtual machines.
These containers are isolated from each other and bundle their own tools, libraries, and configuration files. They can communicate with each other through well-defined channels. All containers are run by a single operating system kernel, and therefore use few resources.
