Docker: A Comprehensive

Guide
Docker is a powerful platform for building, deploying, and
running applications in containers. It simplifies the process of
creating and managing software, enabling developers to
package their applications with all their dependencies into a
single, self-contained unit.

Creating and Managing Containers

1 Building Containers

Docker builds images from a Dockerfile, containing instructions


to assemble the application and its dependencies.

2 Running Containers

The Docker run command starts a container from a specified


image, making the application accessible.

3 Stopping and Restarting

Docker stop pauses a running container without removing it,


while docker restart brings a stopped container back online.

4 Removing Containers

Docker rm removes a container and its associated data,


cleaning up the environment after use.
Container Networking
Internal Network External Network

Containers within a Docker network communicate Docker allows containers to access external
directly through a virtual network, providing services and resources through network ports,
isolation and efficient data exchange. facilitating communication with the host and other
external systems.
Pulling and Pushing Docker Images

Pulling Images Pushing Images Image Tagging

Docker pull retrieves pre-built Docker push uploads custom-built Tagging images with meaningful
images from Docker Hub or private images to a registry, making them labels allows for version control,
repositories, providing access to accessible for sharing or organization, and easy
readily available software and tools. deployment across different identification of specific image
environments. versions.
Docker on Azure Platform
Scalability and Performance Security and Compliance

Azure provides a scalable infrastructure for Docker Azure's security features, such as role-based
deployments, enabling applications to easily access control and network security groups,
adapt to fluctuating workloads. ensure robust protection for Dockerized
applications.
