Docker is one of the container-implementation and software platforms for containerization. Due to the popularity of Docker, sometimes containerization is referred to as Dockerization. Docker is an open-source computer program designed to assist with creating, deploying, and running applications using containers. Containers allow the developers to partition all the different parts of an application, such as libraries, dependencies, and exceptions, and then store it in the form of a package. This process of containerization assures the developer that the application will execute on any Linux machine, despite the change in settings between the machine the application was made on and the machine it is supposed to be tested on.

Due to being open source, Docker can also be manipulated to meet the needs of any particular user. And anyone...
