• How Do You Use a Docker?

The biggest advantage of VMs is that they create snapshots which can be revisited instantly later.

Docker containers further enhance the lightweight process virtualization by being OS independent and using the Linux Kernel’s functionality. They are created from Docker images – like snapshots. Docker images are created using a Docker file which can be customized or used as is. The default execution driver for creating a docker container is ‘libcontainer’.  Docker Hub can be used for serching docker images and seeing the way they have been built.
