Docker provides a way to run applications securely isolated in a container, packaged
|
|
with all its dependencies and libraries. Because your application can always be
|
|
run with the environment it expects right in the build image, testing
|
|
and deployment is simpler than ever, as your build will be fully portable and ready
|
|
to run as designed in any environment. And because containers are lightweight and run
|
|
without the extra load of a hypervisor, you can run many applications that all rely
|
|
on different libraries and environments on a single kernel, each one never interfering
|
|
with the other. This allows you to get more out of your hardware by shifting the "unit
|
|
of scale" for your application from a virtual or physical machine, to a container
|
|
instance.
