Docker is a software platform for building applications in small and lightweight execution environments called containers, which are isolated from other processes, operating system resources and the kernel. The concept of containerization has been around for some time, until docker, an open source project launched in 2013, helped to popularize the technology.
In this module, you will learn the basics of Docker, including:
how to install Docker
how to install a Docker image
how to run a Docker container
