Docker

Docker is a containerization technology. It is a software platform that helps you simplify creating, managing, running, and distributing applications. With Docker, we can package our software and all its dependencies into a container, allowing you to deploy your DATASCOPE WMS application quickly and uniformly.

Docker is a containerization technology that allows a static image to be built into layers. This is then executed as a Docker Container on which a software package can run. This allows for a reliable and replicable installation base with little to no configuration. A Docker Container is NOT a virtual machine, it shares the kernel with its host. Some key advantages over a classic virtual machine are speed, size, and ease of deployment.
