"Docker is a software platform for building applications based on containers -small and lightweight execution environments that make shared use of the operating system kernel but otherwise run in isolation from one another."
"We did always think it would be cool to be able to say, 'Yes, here is our low-level piece. Now you can do Linux containers with us and go do whatever you want, go build your platform.' So that's what we are doing."
"self-contained units of software you can deliver from a server over there to a server over there, from your laptop to EC2 to a bare-metal giant server, and it will run in the same way because it is isolated at the process level and has its own file system."
Docker provides a platform for building and running software containers, small lightweight execution environments that share the operating system kernel while running in isolation. Containers package applications and their dependencies to enable consistent behavior across environments and support a "build once and run anywhere" model. Docker originated from DotCloud and pivoted in 2013 under Solomon Hykes to focus on container technology, rapidly gaining adoption and investment from major vendors and venture capital. Containers isolate processes and include their own file systems, allowing reliable delivery across laptops, cloud instances, and bare-metal servers. Docker simplified container creation and distribution through open source tooling and developer-friendly workflows.
