    Docker uses lightweight containers that provide portable and isolated execution environments for applications. Containers leverage the host operating system kernel and can run applications without needing virtual machines or additional operating systems. Docker allows building and sharing application containers via images and provides tools for container management throughout the development lifecycle. While Docker improves efficiency and portability, it lacks some security capabilities that alternatives like Kubernetes aim to address.

    Docker

     Uses containerization concept. Consists of light, independent, reliable and fast image
    containers having all the application software packages like libraries, code, dependencies.
     Docker images transform to containers on runtime on Docker engine and can be executed
    on different server platforms and OSes because of its isolated and OS independent
    application packages.
     Don’t need extra virtual machine or hyper vision to run. Directly use the OS and kernel
    of the host machine and multiple application containers can be executed on single OS.
     Three basic features of Docker containers: Standard – are portable. Lightweight – use the
    systems OS and kernel and don’t’ require extra OS increasing performance, efficiencies
    and cost. Secure – applications are safe in containers.
     Containers vs VM’s:
     Run on the application level containing all dependencies and packages and run in
    isolated space.
     Can handle more applications with less amount of hardware and VM usage.
     Docker desktop used for building docker images and docker containers with
    compatibility of different languages, databases.
     Docker hub is a repository storage where docker images and containers are upload for
    sharing to the cloud and its different providers or for inter-organization use as well.
     Mainly used for creating compatible and efficient application containing containers so
    that each application is developed in its isolated user space without the need to use extra
    VM;s or OSes.
     Docker builder tools are CLI plugins that interact with docker desktop and docker engine
    to build, test and deploy docker image files and containers. Help in managing image
    registries, collaboration for hand-off of the final code between CI/CD and operations
    team. Provide test cycles automatically according to development environment.
     Competitors of Docker:
     Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)
     Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
     Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
     Kubernetes (also used by docker)
     Azure Kubernetes Engine (AKS)
     Red-Hat open shift container platform
     Why Docker?
     Efficient use of system resources.
     Faster delivery cycles.
     Application portability and compatibility.
     Why not Docker?
     No capability for resolving security issues.
    Questions:
    1. Docker engine?
    2. Kubernetes?
