Docker is an open-source containerization


platform that allows developers to
package applications and their
dependencies into lightweight, portable,
self-sufficient units called containers.

These containers run consistently across


different environments—whether on a local
machine, a server, or the cloud.

Unlike virtual machines, Docker containers


share the host OS kernel, making them
faster, more efficient, and scalable.

Portability: Containers work on any OS


with Docker installed.

Consistency: Eliminate environmental


discrepancies.

Isolation: Apps run in sandboxed


environments.

Scalability: Easily replicate containers


for load balancing.

Fast Deployment: Spin up containers


in seconds and integrate with CI/CD
pipelines for automated workflows.
