Description
Docker is a software platform that allows you to quickly build, test, and deploy applications. Docker packages software into standardized units called containers that include everything needed for the software to run, including libraries, system tools, code, and runtime.
Application in education
In education, Docker is used to standardize development environments, making it easier for students and teachers to work with consistent configurations. It allows the creation of containers with applications and their dependencies, offering test and development environments and reproducible virtual laboratories.
Functionalities
- Deploy and scale applications
- Feature to orchestrate and manage the deployment of multiple containers in production environments
Advantages
- Ensures that all team members work in the same environment
