 Docker Definition
• Docker is a computer program
that performs operating-
system-level virtualization also
known as containerization.

• Provide a uniformed wrapper

around a software package:
«Build, Ship and Run Any App,
Anywhere»
Similar to shipping containers:
The container is always the
same, regardless of the
contents and thus fits on all
trucks, cranes, ships, ...
 Docker Vs Virtualization
• Approaches for running a application.
– One Application per Server
– Hypervisors / VM ware
– Containers
 Application Running on Server

• Problems with Server

– Procurement of Hardware
– Installation of Software
– Software licensing
– Administration
– Only one app running per
server
 Hypervisor / VM ware
• Benefits
– Multiple apps per server
• Issues
– Uses CPU
– Uses RAM
– Uses disk
– May have license cost
– Requires admin time
 Containers
• Platform independence: Build it
once, run it anywhere
• Do not require separate OS for
running
• Effective isolation and resource
sharing
• Speed: Start, create, replicate or
destroy containers in seconds
• Immense and smooth scaling
• Operational simplicity

Where is docker ????
 Docker Installation
• Can be installed on
– Windows
– Linux
– Mac OS
• Link to download
– https://docs.docker.com/
install/#supported-
platforms
 Docker Interaction
• Daemon - docker engine
– Manages orchestration
– Building Images
– Networking
• Container-d
– Manage container lifecycle
• Image transfer/storage
• Container Execution
• OCI (Open Container Initiative)
– Establishes common standards for
container
– Maintains OCI specification for
runtime and images
 Images and Registries
• Registries
– OnCloud
– OnPremise
• Repositories of Images
– Public
– Private
– On Premise
• Command
– docker image pull
<imagename>
• https://hub.docker.com/expl
ore/
 Images
• An image is an inert,
immutable(read-only),
file that's essentially a
snapshot of a container.
• Image has
– OS files
– App Files
– Manifest
Images and Containers
