Introduction to Docker

Image
  Docker is an open-source platform used to build, ship, and run applications in containers. It was introduced in 2013 and has since become one of the most widely used containerization platforms in the world. Docker is designed to simplify the process of creating, deploying, and managing applications, making it easier for developers to focus on their code rather than the infrastructure. Why Docker? Docker offers several advantages over traditional virtualization technologies. Firstly, Docker is lightweight compared to virtual machines, as it does not require an entire operating system to run each container. Instead, containers share the host operating system, allowing for faster startup times and reduced resource consumption. Secondly, Docker makes it easy to build and deploy applications across different environments. Containers can be run on any system that supports Docker, regardless of the underlying hardware or operating system. This makes it easy to move applications between ...

What is Kubernetes

  What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. It was originally developed by Google but now maintained by CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for managing containers at scale for many organizations including Google, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and IBM Cloud. Benefits of Kubernetes Kubernetes is a powerful tool for managing containers. It offers a unified approach to container management, with features and flexibility that streamline application deployment processes. Kubernetes was built with scale in mind, so it can be used to manage tens of thousands of nodes across multiple data centers. It also provides support for running stateless applications like web servers, or stateful applications like databases that need persistent storage on disk or flash memory (SSDs).
