Exploring Docker

miscellaneous

I have always seen Docker being talked about in the Linux community and have seen it as one of the DigitalOcean quick app install options. I had no idea what it was and did not realize it’s function. Docker is actually a container technology designed to improve efficiency. Traditional virtual machines house their own guest operating system and libraries to run an application. As one can see, if there is a large number of virtual machines running their own operating system, the workflow is inefficient.
