Study Notes
Docker Overview
- Docker is a platform for creating applications
- Docker offers multiple configurable/server environments in one
- Docker uses container technology
Docker Structure
- Hypervisor Type 1 (bare metal hypervisor): The virtualization layer is directly underneath the operating system, offering better performance and efficiency but requiring specific hardware.
- Hypervisor Type 2 (hosted hypervisor): Virtualization software runs on top of the host operating system, making it more versatile, but impacting overall performance.
- Containers: Lightweight, isolated environments that run applications with their dependencies within a single process.
Docker Advantages
- Portability: Docker allows easy movement of applications between different environments.
- Isolation: Applications in Docker containers are isolated from other containers and the host operating system.
- Resource Efficiency: Docker containers share the host operating system kernel, resulting in lower resource consumption compared to virtual machines.
- Deployment Speed: Docker images can be deployed quickly, leading to faster application development and deployment cycles.
Docker Concepts
- Images: Templates that define a container's environment, including the application, its dependencies and other configurations. These images contain instructions for constructing containers.
- Containers: Runnable instances of Docker images; isolated runtime environments for applications.
- Registries: Secure repositories that store docker images, making them shareable and downloadable.
Docker Operations
- docker build: Used to create container images from instructions in a Dockerfile.
- docker pull: Downloads images from a registry, e.g., Docker Hub.
- docker run: Executes a container based on an existing image.
- docker ps: Lists running containers.
- docker kill/stop: Terminates a container.
- docker image: Manages container images, like listing or checking for images.
Docker Usage
- Command-line interface: Using commands like
docker run,docker build,docker pull. - Graphical interfaces: Examples include Docker Desktop or Portainer.io.
