Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. Docker enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure so you can deliver software quickly. With Docker, you can manage your infrastructure in the same ways you manage your applications.
Its primary focus is to automate the deployment of applications inside software containers and the automation of operating-system-level virtualization on Linux. It’s more lightweight than standard Containers and boots up in seconds.
