Study Notes

Docker Overview

Docker uses OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers.
Docker was first released in 2013 and is developed by Docker, Inc.

Docker Platform

Docker can package an application and its dependencies in a virtual container that can run on any Linux, Windows, or macOS computer.
Docker uses the resource isolation features of the Linux kernel to allow containers to run within a single Linux instance.

Resource Isolation Features

Docker uses the resource isolation features of the Linux kernel, such as cgroups and kernel namespaces.
The resource isolation features allow containers to run within a single Linux instance.

Container Isolation

Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own operating system, libraries, and configuration files.

Container Communication

Containers in Docker can communicate with each other through well-defined channels.
Containers can communicate with each other, but they are isolated from one another.

Docker File System

When running on Linux, Docker uses a union-capable file system such as AUFS to allow containers to run within a single Linux instance.

Docker Purpose

The purpose of Docker is to simplify software deployment by packaging an application and its dependencies in a virtual container.
Docker allows an application packaged in a Docker container to run anywhere, on any system that supports Docker, without requiring specific setup or configuration.
