Experiment No. 10
Aim: Installation of Docker.
Theory:
Docker
Docker is an open-source platform that automates the deployment, scaling,
and management of applications using containerization.
Containers are lightweight, portable, and self-sufficient environments that
package an application and all its dependencies, ensuring consistent
operation across different environments.
Key Concepts:
Container: A lightweight, standalone, executable package that includes
everything needed to run a piece of software, including the code,
runtime, libraries, and system tools.
Image: A read-only template used to create containers. Images can
be thought of as the blueprint for a container.
Dockerfile: A text file containing a series of instructions on how to build a
Docker image.
Docker Hub: A cloud-based repository for sharing Docker images,
allowing you to download existing images or upload your own.
Docker Engine: The core component of Docker, responsible for
running containers and managing container lifecycle.
