Docker Container Stop Vs Kill
Both the commands docker container stop and docker container kill are used for terminating the containers only. But docker container stop will terminated the contianer by genrating 2 signals, firstly it sends warning singal regarding terminal, giving time (grace period) for the container to clear the resources properly and then after grace time it is terminated by docker stop forcely.
Whereas Docker container kill sends only one signal (SIGKILL) it directly shutdown the container, without giving any time for the container to clear the resources properly. That’s the reason docker kill command shutdowns the container very fast compared to docker stop. But docker kill command in only recommand to use, when the docker stop taking more time to terminated it, and it is less sensitive container application.
