Docker is a containerization platform that packages applications and dependencies into containers to ensure applications run seamlessly across environments. It was created in 2013 to simplify application deployment and management using containers. Docker uses a client-server architecture with clients communicating with the Docker daemon via APIs to build images from Dockerfiles, run containers from images, and store images in public/private registries for collaboration. Containers are lightweight and portable, allowing applications to be deployed flexibly on various platforms while maintaining performance.

1) Docker is the containerization platform that
is used to package your application and all its
dependencies together in the form of containers to make sure that your application works seamlessly in any environment which can be developed or tested or in production. 2) Docker is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers.
3) Docker is the world’s leading software
container platform. It was launched in 2013 by a company called Dotcloud, Inc which was later renamed Docker, Inc. It is written in the Go language. Docker Architecture Docker architecture consists of Docker client, Docker Daemon running on Docker Host, and Docker Hub repository. Docker has client- server architecture in which the client communicates with the Docker Daemon running on the Docker Host using a combination of REST APIs, Socket IO, and TCP. Components of Docker
1. Docker Clients and Servers– Docker
has a client-server architecture. The Docker Daemon/Server consists of all containers. The Docker Daemon/Server receives the request from the Docker client through CLI or REST APIs and thus processes the request accordingly. Docker client and Daemon can be present on the same host or different host. 1) Docker Images– Docker images are used to build docker containers by using a read-only template. 2) Docker File– Dockerfile is a text file that contains a series of instructions on how to build your Docker image. 3) Docker Registries– Docker Registry is a storage component for Docker images. We can store the images in either public/private repositories so that multiple users can collaborate in building the application.
4) Docker Containers– Docker
Containers are runtime instances of Docker images. Containers contain the whole kit required for an application, so the application can be run in an isolated way.
Advantages of Docker –
1. Speed – The speed of Docker containers
compared to a virtual machine is very fast. The time required to build a container is very fast because they are tiny and lightweight. 2. Portability – The applications that are built inside docker containers are extremely portable. These portable applications can easily be moved anywhere as a single element and their performance also remains the same.
3. Scalability – Docker has the ability that
it can be deployed on several physical servers, data servers, and cloud platforms. It can also be run on every Linux machine. Containers can easily be moved from a cloud environment to a local host and from there back to the cloud again at a fast pace.
4 Density – Docker uses the resources
that are available more efficiently because it does not use a hypervisor. This is the reason that more containers can be run on a single host as compared to virtual machines. Docker Containers have higher performance because of their high density and no overhead wastage of resources.
