Docker

Docker is an open-source platform that packages applications and their dependencies into containers — lightweight, standalone units that run consistently across any environment. Unlike virtual machines, containers share the host OS kernel, making them faster to start and more resource-efficient. Docker uses images (blueprints) to create containers.

Why It Matters

Docker revolutionized software deployment by solving the 'it works on my machine' problem. Containers ensure that applications behave identically in development, staging, and production. Docker is foundational to modern DevOps workflows, microservices architectures, and cloud-native applications.
