What is a Container?
 What is a Container?

Containers are software that wrap up all the parts of a code and all its
dependencies into a single deployable unit that can be used on
different systems and servers.

 What is a Container?

You can compare Containers to VM to get a better Idea.

Let’s set some criteria to compare them

• Architecture
• Isolation

• Scalability

What is Docker?
 What is Docker?
Docker is a tool that helps in developing, building, deploying and
executing software in isolation. It does so by creating containers
that completely wrap a software.

The Isolation provided by container gives a layer of

security to the containers.

Docker Engine
 Docker Engine

Docker engine is as the name suggests, its technology that allows for
the creation and management of all the Docker Processes. It has three
major parts to it.

Nodes & Services
 Docker Objects - Images

Docker images are sets of instructions that are used to create

containers and execute code inside it.
Docker Common Commands
 Docker Objects - Volumes

Docker Volumes are basically persistent storage locations for the

containers. They can be easily & safely attached and removed from
different container. And they are also portable from system to another.
 Docker Objects – Volumes drivers

Docker Volumes drivers allow you to perform unique abilities such as

creating persistent storage on other hosts, cloud, encrypt Volumes.
They basically enhance the abilities of a Volume.
 Docker Objects - Network
A Docker network is basically a connection between one or more
containers.One of the more powerful things about the Docker
containers is that they can be easily connected to one other and even
other software, this makes it very easy to isolate and manage the
containers
Docker Registry
 Docker Registry
You can think of registries as storage locations for Docker Images.
These images can be versioned in the registry as well.

 Docker Registry – DockerHub

You have many options for a Docker Registry, you can go with
DockerHub as your main Docker registry as there is already a Docker
command to pull and push images to it. If you don’t want to use
DockerHub there are many alternatives to it.
Docker Objects – Registry

Right! Let’s create our own

DockerHub account and then
let’s try and pull and push
images.
Docker Compose
 Docker Compose

For Now let’s just understand that Docker Compose is just a Service
within Docker that let’s us launch multiple containers at the same time.
Docker Swarm
 Docker Swarm

For Now just understand that Docker Swarm is a service within Docker
that allows us to manage multiple containers.

 What is a Container?

Multiple isolated containers can be launched together to form

Microservices which can be easily managed using any orchestration
tool e.g. Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, etc.
