What Is Docker kill ?
Docker is an open platform that helps you build, ship, and run applications anywhere. You can think of it like a shipping container for code; it packages up an application with everything it needs to run (like libraries and system tools) and makes sure it works the same no matter where it’s deployed. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Develop: Write your application code in any language, using any stack.
- Package: Docker containers package up the code and all its dependencies.
- Distribute: Share your container using Docker’s registry, like Docker Hub.
- Run: Deploy your container to any machine that runs Docker, and it will run exactly the same.
- Docker is great for ensuring consistency across multiple development, staging, and production environments. It’s also handy for developers because it runs on various systems, such as Windows, macOS, and Linux.
