Q&A

What is the difference between Docker and virtual machines?

Docker virtualizes the applications layer, while virtual machines virtualize the complete operating system.

How does Docker simplify application development?

Docker packages applications and their dependencies, making it easier to set up and run them consistently across different environments.

Can Docker run on any operating system?

Yes, Docker containers can run on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.

How do I create a Docker image?

You can create a Docker image using a Dockerfile, which defines the configuration and dependencies of your application.

What is Docker Hub?

Docker Hub is a central repository where developers can find and share Docker images.
