Using Docker in open-source projects

<h2>What is Docker?</h2> <p>Docker is a containerization platform that gathers all packages and their dependencies in the form of containers to make sure that your application works seamlessly in any environment that can be developed, tested, or in production. It is a versatile platform that simplifies application development, testing, and deployment through containerization, standardization, and efficient resource utilization, making it a valuable tool for developers and operations teams.</p> <p>One interesting information I found in Avi&rsquo;s article is how Docker is much more portable compared to virtual machines. Virtual machines (VMs) are simulations or emulation of a machine&rsquo;s hardware and software environment. VMs act like a separating operating system, namely, a guest machine on top of the current machine, while Docker shares the host operating system, which makes Docker very lightweight in terms of booting compatibility. This nature allows Docker to start up applications quickly, consume fewer resources, and offer a level of flexibility that is advantageous in various scenarios. VMs are much larger than Docker in terms of size; therefore, VMs are not really efficient to run on diverse operating systems or an effective solution for application deployment.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@thaopham03/using-docker-in-open-source-projects-b14d3370f889"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
