Docker: Build, Ship, and Run Applications with Containers

Docker is an open-source platform that allows developers to build, ship, and run applications in containers. Containers are lightweight and portable virtual environments that can run on any operating system, providing a consistent and reproducible environment for software development and deployment. Docker uses a client-server architecture, with a command-line interface (CLI) and RESTful API for managing containers and images. Docker provides a range of tools and services for container orchestration, such as Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes. It is widely used in the software development and deployment process, enabling faster and more efficient application delivery.
