Docker Simplified

Let’s suppose there’s a full stack web application using a specific set of technologies, including a web server, a database server, and particular dependencies with specified versions operating smoothly on a developer’s local machine. Yet, when transitioning to the production and client environment, this web application encounters crashes due to version inconsistencies and code conflicts. Furthermore, even when it manages to run on certain machines, it falters during periods of high user activity. To address the above challenges, Docker steps in to the rescue! Docker has revolutionized the way applications are developed, tested, and deployed, offering a solution to many of the challenges like environment consistency, version conflicts as well as scalability & deployment issues that developers and operations teams face. Docker is an open-source software which automates the deployment of applications inside lightweight, portable containers. These containers bundle an application’s code, libraries, and dependencies, ensuring it runs consistently across various environments, from a developer’s personal laptop to a full-fledged production server. In plain language, Docker serves as the bridge that moves application packages which sets up a virtual environment for applications. It’s nothing but OS-level virtualization. Docker streamlines the development-to-deployment process, ensuring that applications behave consistently in different environments. <a href="https://medium.com/@amishakirti6410/docker-simplified-3581ef350acc">Click Here</a>
