Docker - A dream for all developers
Docker is an open source platform that makes it easy to create and administer isolated environments. It makes it possible to package an application or environment inside a container, making it portable to any other host that has Docker installed.
A few words about this technology
Docker was launched in 2013, which is a platform for container management. The conatiner is nothing more than the packaging of the project and its dependencies in a standardized way.
Technology greatest strengths
Standardization
Docker containers guarantee the standardization of the project, this can be repeated for other projects. With this standardization, you could easily revert any changes that break the application.
Compatibility
Docker images will also be executed independently of the server or notebook. Which reduces the time to set up and maintain the environment.
Simplicity
Because Docker can be used in a wide variety of environments, the infra is no longer tied to the application environment.
Safety
Docker ensures that applications running in containers are segregated and isolated from others.
