A brief introduction to Docker

Docker is a platform that allows developers to package their applications and dependencies into containers. Developers can use those containers to deploy software easily and consistently across different environments. Docker was created by Docker, Inc. and quickly gained popularity due to its many portability and consistency benefits.

Docker Engine is the core component of the Docker platform and is responsible for building and running the Docker containers. Docker Engine consists of three parts:

  • The Docker daemon
  • The Docker API
  • The Docker client

The Docker daemon is a persistent process responsible for managing Docker objects such as images, containers, networks, and volumes. The Docker client is a command-line interface that allows users to interact with the Docker daemon and manage containers. The Docker API is an API that can be used to automate Docker operations and integrate Docker with other tools and applications.
