There are several technical and business advantages associated with Docker. The longstanding goals of application development, deployment, and delivery automation are accomplished through Docker-enabled containerization, which is being touted as a crucial automation method for the tremendous success of the cloud paradigm. Existing workloads are containerized and cloud-enabled to be stocked in public as well as private repositories. Both business and IT workloads can be easily pampered, packaged, and presented as remotely discoverable, usable, portable, and composable containers. Further on, containers are shipped and run everywhere without any hassle, hitches, and hurdles. The containerization concept has made IT infrastructures and processes agile and adaptive. This means that not only is software engineering sped up, but also the tasks of software configuration, deployment, and delivery are accelerated. Precisely speaking, the unique goals of DevOps are accomplished through the smart use of containers.
