PACKAGE YOUR APPLICATION INTO A STANDARDIZED UNIT FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Docker containers wrap a piece of software in a complete file system that contains everything needed to run: code, run time, system tools, system libraries – anything that can be installed on a server. This guarantees that the software will always run the same, regardless of its environment.

LIGHTWEIGHT

Containers running on a single machine share the same operating system kernel; they start instantly and use less RAM. Images are constructed from layered file systems and share common files, making disk usage and image downloads much more efficient.

OPEN

Docker containers are based on open standards, enabling containers to run on all major Linux distributions and on Microsoft Windows -- and on top of any infrastructure.

SECURE BY DEFAULT

Containers isolate applications from one another and the underlying infrastructure, while providing an added layer of protection for the application.

See you in Class!

Happy learning.
