This document provides an introduction to Docker, including:
- Docker allows developers to package applications with all dependencies into standardized units called containers that can run on any infrastructure.
- Docker uses namespaces and control groups to provide isolation and security between containers while allowing for more efficient use of resources than virtual machines.
- The Docker architecture includes images which are templates for creating containers, a Dockerfile to automate image builds, and Docker Hub for sharing images.
- Kubernetes is an open-source platform for automating deployment and management of containerized applications across clusters of hosts.
