Study Notes
- Docker is a containerization platform for packaging applications and their dependencies into lightweight, portable containers.
- Docker ensures applications run consistently across different environments.
Key Concepts
- Containers are lightweight, isolated environments that package an application and its dependencies.
- Images are read-only templates used to create containers and act as blueprints.
- Dockerfile is a script defining how a Docker image should be built.
- Docker Hub is a cloud-based registry for finding and sharing container images.
- Volumes provide persistent storage for data generated by containers.
- Docker Compose is a tool to define and run multi-container applications.
Benefits of Docker
- Portability: Docker operates the same across different environments.
- Consistency: Docker eliminates "it works on my machine" issues.
- Scalability: Docker allows easy scaling of applications using multiple containers.
- Isolation: Docker prevents conflicts between dependencies.
- Efficiency: Docker uses fewer resources compared to virtual machines.
How Docker Works
- Build: Create an image using a Dockerfile.
- Run: Start a container from the image.
- Share: Push the image to Docker Hub or another registry.
- Deploy: Run the container in production or cloud environments.

Description
Docker is a containerization platform for packaging applications and their dependencies into lightweight, portable containers. It ensures applications run consistently across different environments by using containers, images, and Dockerfiles. Docker Hub allows finding and sharing container images, while volumes provide persistent storage.
