Interesting concept: Docker

Recently I stumbled upon a new concept for building, shipping, deploying and running applications. It’s called Docker. So what is Dockerexactly?

Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications. Consisting of Docker Engine, a portable, lightweight runtime and packaging tool, and Docker Hub, a cloud service for sharing applications and automating workflows, Docker enables apps to be quickly assembled from components and eliminates the friction between development, QA, and production environments. As a result, IT can ship faster and run the same app, unchanged, on laptops, data center VMs, and any cloud.

In comparison to the normal ‘cloud providers’ this is very powerfull concept that needs to be analysed thoroughly.

Docker has a very good relationship with DevOps; check this!
