Linux containers are hugely complicated and not user-friendly. Having realized the fact that several complexities are coming in the way of massively producing and fluently using containers, an open-source project got initiated with the goal of deriving a sophisticated and modular platform comprising an enabling engine for simplifying and streamlining various containers' lifecycle phases. That is, the Docker platform is built to automate the crafting, packaging, shipping, deployment and delivery of any software application embedded inside a lightweight, extensible, and self-sufficient container.

Docker is being positioned as the most flexible and futuristic containerization technology in realizing highly competent and enterprise-class distributed applications. This is to make deft and decisive impacts as the brewing trend in the IT industry is that instead of large monolithic applications distributed on a single physical or virtual server, companies are building smaller,...
