Docker is 4 things (clear title)
state of the art?/ information needed
-First, the Dockerfile file format for declaratively describing a machine (operating system, installed packages, processes, etc).
-Second, the Docker Engine which takes a Dockerfile and runs it on a Linux host natively, without a virtual machine.
-Third, the Docker Desktop app which takes a Dockerfile and runs it on a Mac or Windows host, using a Linux virtual machine.
-Fourth, the Docker Hub container repository which allows a community to share Dockerfiles for common configurations.
problem that could arrive/why this is important
Often, when people evaluate Docker or make statments about “Docker,” they’re referring only to the Docker Engine.
conclusion
But most of the time, this is not a useful view to take. Most of time, the practicality of Docker comes from a combination of all four of these things."
