Docker is an open platform for building, shipping, and running distributed applications as containers (lightweight, standalone, executable packages of software that include everything needed to run an application). Containers can in turn be deployed and orchestrated by container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes. (In addition to the Docker container technology for NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus discussed in this blog, NGINX provides the NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus Ingress Controllers for Kubernetes; for NGINX Plus subscribers, support is included at no extra cost.)
