Docker is the containerization platform that lets you package applications and dependencies into lightweight, portable units—bringing consistency across development, test, and production environments.
Why Docker is essential in modern DevOps
- Environment parity: “Works on my machine” becomes less of an issue—same container runs locally, in CI, in production.
- Scalability and portability: Containers can be orchestrated (Kubernetes, Swarm) and moved between clouds or on-prem.
- Microservices enablement: Containerised services make building modular architectures easier.
- Efficiency & speed: Rapid spin-up of environments, easier rollbacks, consistent deployment artifacts.
