what does Docker do?
Had a fun and relaxing weekend! Did not get to go textbook-heavy but on Sunday night, I thought I would watch some videos on Docker/containers to improve my understanding of this area. As a DS, all I previously knew is that Docker allows applications to be run in the same way regardless of machine/system being used. Came across this funny slide hehe in one of the videos I watched
Now I understand the reason Docker is useful is because it combines 1) image - which contains the code, runtimes, tools/instructions, library, configs etc. to run it 2) containers - running instance of the image
With one image, many containers can be made so the same code can be run in identical ways on any machine. Next steps will involve implementing for personal projects.
