Creating the Docker image for CMS

We are doing an awesome job. We created an application with the Spring Boot Framework. The application has been using the Spring REST, Spring Data, and Spring DI.

Now we will go a step forward and create our Docker image. It will be useful to help us to deliver our application for production. There are some advantages, and we can run the application on-premise or on any cloud providers because Docker abstracts the operating system layer. We do not need Java to be installed on the application host, and it also allows us to use different Java versions on the hosts. There are so many advantages involved in adopting Docker for delivery.

We are using Maven as a build tool. Maven has an excellent plugin to helps us to create Docker images. In the following section, we will learn how Maven can help us.
