Now we know how to work with containers and images. In the last chapter, we also saw how to link containers and share data between the host and other containers. We also saw how containers from one host can communicate with containers from other hosts.
Now, let's look at different use cases of Docker. Let's list a few of them here:
- Quick prototyping of ideas: This is one of my favorite use cases. Once we have an idea, it is very easy to prototype it with Docker. All we have to do is set up containers to provide all the backend services we need and connect them together. For example, to set up a LAMP application, get the web and DB server and link them, as we saw in the previous chapter.
- Collaboration and distribution: Git is one of the best examples of collaborating and distributing code. Similarly, Docker provides features such as Dockerfile, registries...
