Baking a Docker container
One of the fastest technologies to sweep the tech world has been Docker. If you haven’t heard of it, Docker is sort of like a virtualized machine but more lightweight.
Docker is built on the paradigm of shipping containers. Shipping containers, which are responsible for moving the bulk of the world’s goods on ships and trains, have a common shape. This means people can plan how to ship their products while knowing the containers handled by the entire world are all the same size and structure.
Docker is built on top of Linux’s libcontainer library, a toolkit that grants not a completely virtual environment, but instead a partially virtual one. It allows a container’s processes, memory, and network stack to be isolated from the host server.
Essentially, you install the Docker engine on all your target machines. From there, you are free to install any container, as needed, to do what you need to do.
