About Docker

Docker is a containerization platform that allows you to package applications and their dependencies into lightweight, portable containers. These containers can run consistently across different environments.

Key Features

• Containerization - Package applications with all dependencies
• Portability - Run containers anywhere Docker is installed
• Isolation - Applications run in isolated environments
• Efficiency - Lightweight compared to virtual machines
• Scalability - Easy to scale applications horizontally

Getting Started

1. Install Docker from docker.com
2. Verify installation: docker --version
3. Run your first container: docker run hello-world
