Docker: Lightweight Linux Containers for Consistent Development and Deployment

摘要

Docker’s prospect of lightweight packaging and deploying of applications and dependencies is an exciting one, and it is quickly being adopted by the Linux community and is making its way into production environments. For example, Red Hat announced in December support for Docker in the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. However, Docker is still a young project and is growing at breakneck speed. It is going to be exciting to watch as the project approaches its 1.0 release, which is supposed to be the first version officially sanctioned for production environments. Docker relies on established technologies, some of which have been around for more than a decade, but that doesn’t make it any less revolutionary. Hopefully this article provided you with enough information and inspiration to download Docker and experiment with it yourself.
