Introduction to Docker

A GDSC Presentation by Gianluca Piccirillo and Matthew Cabral.


What is a container and what is
Docker
Containers Docker
Containers are lightweight, portable, and Docker is a platform for developing,
self-sufficient encapsulations of an shipping, and running applications using
application and its dependencies. containerization technology.

Benefits
Docker simplifies the process of creating, deploying, and managing applications, ensuring
consistency across environments.
Containers vs Virtual
Machines
Resource Usage: Containers share the host OS, using fewer resources
compared to VMs.
Speed: Containers start quickly and can be rapidly scaled up or down.

Isolation: Each VM includes a separate OS, providing more robust


isolation.

containers.
Docker Networking Overview
Bridge Network: Bridges provide communication between individual containers within a single Docker
daemon.
Host Network: Connects the container's network stack directly to the host.

None Network: This network mode disables all networking.


Dockerfile and Docker Compose
Dockerfile
1 A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the
command line to assemble an image.

Docker Compose
2 Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It
uses a YAML file to configure the application’s services.
