What Is Docker?

What Is Docker?

Docker is an open source containerization toolkit which enables developers to package applications into containers.

As the name suggests, Docker is like a container ship which provides means to sort, link, manage and ship containers from a development setup into production.

What is a Container

What is a Container

Think like a Virtual Machine but:

  • light weight
  • great resource efficiency
  • improved developer productivity

Where containers differ from VMs is the fact that they take advantage of the Linux kernel which comes with process isolation and virtualization capabilities.

These capabilities are control groups(allocating resources), and namespaces(restricting a processes access to other areas of the system).

Some real world examples would be the fact that a container has a specific place on the ship and a container lock, which keeps everything secure inside it.

Why it’s actually not a VM

Why it’s actually not a VM

Containers don’t come with the weight of a full OS image and a hypervisor.

Containers include only OS processes and dependencies necessary to execute the code inside them.

Containers occupy less space(MBs not GBs) which means you can run multiple copies of the same application on the same hardware.

Containers are faster and easier to deploy, provision and restart. This make them ideal for CI/CD pipelines and a better fit for Agile development teams.

What ACTUALLY is Docker

What ACTUALLY is Docker

Docker enhances the native Linux containerization technologies which enables:

  • seamless portability: can run natively across any desktop, data center or cloud development
  • granular updates: only one process runs in a container. An application can continue running without a container being taken done
  • automatic container creation: based on application source code
  • container versioning: tracking image versions and roll backs are fast
  • container reuse: base images can be used as templates for nee containers
  • shared container libraries: an open source user contributed container images registry

Docker tools

Docker tools

DockerFile - every container has one and states the instructions for building the container’s image. It consists in command-line instructions;

Docker images - contains executable source code, libs and dependencies the code needs; Read-only file; A Docker image can be build from scratch, most developers reuse common ones from repositories;

Docker containers - the live and running instance of the Docker image; Ephemeral, users can interact with them, run commands and adjust settings using docker commands

Docker registry - open source distribution system and versioning using git

Docker deployment

Docker deployment

On the same host:

  • Docker Compose - creates a .yaml which specifies the used containers; can deploy and run containers from a single command; can define persistent volumes for storage, databases and service dependencies;

On different hosts:

You need container orchestration tools.

  • Docker Swarm
  • Kubernetes
  • AWS EKS
  • OpenShift

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
