Docker fundamentals

Docker has spread like wildfire across modern organizations, thanks to its capabilities and promising services. It is an open source project with an Apache 2.0 license that allows developers to package up their applications, without caring about dependencies issues, that has made a huge impact in modern application development. Since its development in March 2013, it has allowed developers to focus on their products instead of wasting time on fixing library problems. Thus, the three main principles of Docker are: develop, ship, and run. These three terms explain the main concept of Docker. Developers just need to develop their applications, and Docker will take care of the rest, in other words. It allows them to ship the applications and deploy them in any system.
