Motivation
Containerization allows applications to run in isolated, independent environments that are separated from the host system infrastructure as well as from each other. In addition to the ability to start, link and stop applications quickly and easily this way, containers also form the indispensable basis for scaling large systems.
Docker is the most popular and most widely used containerization technology. The open source platform provides developers with everything they need to create, deploy, and manage containers across multiple platforms.
Containers have become practically indispensable in modern software development.
