Podman and BuildKit are other popular containerization platforms that are available as alternatives to Docker. In general, a containerization platform permits you to run a single application in an isolated environment. In Docker, this is achieved by wrapping your application in a Docker container, which contains your code, the operating system, and all required libraries used by your code. Within a Docker container, you can run a Docker image, which is the object in your filesystem that wraps your application.
As an alternative to Docker, you can use a virtual machine, which also provides an isolated environment and a ready-to-run code for your application. However, Docker is much smaller and easier to port than virtual machines.
As with any application, a Comet experiment can also be launched in a Docker container. In this section...
