Getting Started with Docker

Let’s get started with Docker. Docker is OS-level(Operating system) virtualization software. From an application standpoint, Docker is an end-to-end platform that makes application lifecycle tasks fast and easy. We can package software applications into portable containers to efficiently build, ship, and run them in any environment.
