Docker - The Linux container
Docker allows users to package and run applications in lightweight containers. Containers are hardware and platform agnostic, making applications portable across computing environments from laptops to large servers. Docker utilizes Linux containers (LXC) which provide isolated mini operating systems within a host operating system without the overhead of virtual machines. Containers are more lightweight and efficient than virtual machines, allowing for faster deployment and scaling of applications. Docker makes containers reusable and provides a consistent environment for development and production.

- 2. Docker isan open source project to pack, ship and run any application as a lightweight container. Docker containers are both hardware-agnostic and platform- agnostic. This means that they can run anywhere, from your laptop to the largest EC2 compute instance and everything in between - and they don't require that you use a particular language, framework or packaging system. That makes them great building blocks for deploying and scaling web apps, databases and backend services without depending on a particular stack or provider.
- 3. LXC - LinuXContainer So basically docker is a tool to create and work with linux containers(lxc). Lxc is an operating system-level virtualization method for running multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a single control host. ● So, LXC provides a way to run mini operating systems in your Linux host operating system.

- 5. Then.. what isVirtual Machine ??? ● VM runs on(above) the Host operating system as a full fledged OS and uses isolated process spaces. ● Docker runs with Host Operating system as its share the host process spaces.
- 8. What’s the useof Docker There is no need to install Virtual Box and download an OS image and wait for several minutes to boot it up. ● Size: VMs are very large which makes them impractical to store and transfer. ● Performance: running VMs consumes significant CPU and memory, which makes them impractical in many scenarios, for example local development of multi-tier applications, and large-scale deployment of cpu and memory-intensive applications on large numbers of machines.
- 9. ● Throwable Sandboxes:Can create a container in a minute to test your stuffs and tear it down. ● Elegant Application Delivery: Containers allow you to package just about any application. You could add the dependencies of the application in the container itself. Ex: mysql service ● Docker makes containers reusable ● Uniform development and production Environments ex: ruby 1.9 and 2.0
- 10. #CLI ● #docker pullubuntu It will pull the base Ubuntu container from Docker Index. ● #docker run -t -i ubuntu apt-get install curl It will install the cURL package inside your base ubuntu image. ● #docker ps -a This will give you a list of images, their IDs and the command that was run
- 11. #docker commit In orderto save the image for re-use.
