Benefits of Docker
The following are the some of the benefits of Docker:
- Portability: Docker facilities with creation of lightweight portable containers that can be unable on any machine regardless of the underlying operating systems.
- Isolation: Docker through containers provides a high level of isolation with enabling the applications to run independently of each other addressing the issues that one container doesn’t impact on other.
- Reproducibility: With, Docker developers can easily package their applications and their dependencies into a reusable images. It allows for consistent and repoduciable builds across the development, testing and production environments.
- DevOps Integration: It promotes the collaboration and automation across the software development life cycle in handing the increasing workloads.
What is Docker?
Docker is a set of Platforms as a service (PaaS) products that use Operating system-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries, and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels. All containers are run by a single operating system kernel and therefore use fewer resources than a virtual machine.
