Docker is an open-source platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of applications using containerization. It allows developers to package applications and dependencies into lightweight, portable containers.

Docker enables consistent development, testing, and production environments, simplifying DevOps workflows and improving software delivery speed. It integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, orchestration tools, and cloud platforms.

Because of its efficiency and portability, Docker is widely adopted for microservices architecture, cloud-native applications, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. Containers provide isolation, scalability, and resource optimization.

Organizations like Google, Netflix, and Spotify rely on Docker for containerization, scalable deployment, and DevOps automation. Its ecosystem, including Docker Compose and Docker Hub, makes it a critical skill for modern developers and DevOps engineers.
