Understanding Docker: My Dive into Containerization

Docker — it’s been a buzzword I’ve been hearing a lot lately, especially in the context of open-source development. Curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to dive into understanding this powerful tool and its potential. Here’s what I discovered! Docker: A Brief Overview From my readings, Docker appears to be a fascinating tool centered on ‘containerizing’ applications. This ensures consistent performance, regardless of where they’re deployed. When comparing this to the concept of Virtual Machines (VMs), Docker provides a more lightweight and efficient approach. Instead of running a full-fledged operating system for each application (like VMs), Docker containers share the same OS kernel, making them nimble and quick to deploy. <a href="https://medium.com/@demekenega4/understanding-docker-my-dive-into-containerization-3375ef2aea68">Website</a>
