Abstract

Whenever we want to execute some commands on an operating system other than the current host operating system on our systems, it can be very lengthy process. We may need to dual boot our system or install the operating system on a Virtual-Box. These both solutions need to install the full operating system just to execute some commands. But now there is another solution for this problem and that is Docker.

Docker containers wrap up a piece of software in a complete filesystem that contains everything it needs to run: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries anything you can install on a server. This guarantees that it will always run the same, regardless of the environment it is running in.

Containers running on a single machine all share the same operating system kernel so they start instantly and make more efficient use of RAM. Images are constructed from layered file systems so they cans hare common files, making disk usage and image downloads much more efficient.

 Docker containers are based on open standards allowing containers to run on all major Linux distributions and Microsoft operating systems with support for every infrastructure. Containers isolate applications from each other and the underlying infrastructure while providing an added layer of protection for the application.
