Is Docker Still Relevant? Examining its Popularity and Future

TLDRDocker revolutionized containerization, but its popularity raises questions about its future. We explore if Docker is still relevant and if it may become obsolete, considering the emergence of Kubernetes and other container technologies.

Key insights

:ship:Docker consists of three main components: Docker client, Docker demon, and Docker registries.

:construction_worker:The Docker client is the primary interface for managing Docker objects like images and containers.

:gear:The Docker demon is the core engine that handles container operations and can utilize OCI-compliant runtimes.

:globe_with_meridians:Docker registries, such as Docker Hub, store and distribute container images.

:bulb:Docker popularized containerization and introduced key concepts like standard image format, image building, image sharing, and container running.
