When to Use Docker?
The following are the some of the recommended scenarios to use Docker:
- Developement and Testing: Docker will be ideal for lcoal developments and testing environments. It facilitatest the developers to package thier applications with all its dependencies into light weight containers providing consistency across the different environments.
- Single Host Deployments: It is suitable for deploying applications on a single host or small scalable environments where orchestration is not required.
- Quick Prototyping: It provides the rapid prototyping and experimenting the containerized applications in the environments.
Difference Between Kubernetes and OpenShift
Containerization is the process of packaging software code along with all of its necessary dependencies, including libraries, frameworks, and other dependencies, into a single, isolated “container.” The purpose of this is to enable consistent movement and operation of the program or application within the container in any environment and on any infrastructure, regardless of the operating system used by those environments or infrastructures.
