Why use Docker?

• Package an application with it’s dependencies• Dev environment behaves exactly like production• Less overhead means more deployments on a server• Deploy the same container in different clouds• Not just for cloud computing• Docker has standardized container formats• It’s open source

15

Some other Docker Use Cases

• Simulate deployed environment during development– Each container simulates a machine

• Share containers between developers– Database containers with sample data• Also use in the (automated) QA environment

– Build containers with compilers and libraries• Also use in the CI environment
