What is Docker?
The Docker engine is open-source software designed to build and run applications in isolated environments known as containers.
It uses OS-level virtualization to run the applications. This is similar to virtual machines but the Docker engine offers a more resource-friendly and portable environment to our processes.
Developed by Docker.Inc under the Apache License, the Docker engine hosts images, networks, and containers through a server-side daemon process. Since its initial release in 2013, Docker has grown massively in demand and reputation.
