Abstract
Docker has become the de facto containerization platform. The main appeal of Docker over virtual machines is that it is lightweight. Whereas a virtual machine packages a complete OS in addition to the application binaries, a Docker container is a lightweight abstraction at the application layer, packaging only the code and dependencies required to run an application. Multiple Docker containers run as isolated processes on the same underlying OS kernel.
