Why businesses use Docker
Containers remove the classic problem of software working on one machine but not another. They make releases consistent and let applications move between hosting providers more easily.
How Docker works
Developers describe the application's environment in a file. Docker builds a container image from it, and that image runs identically on a laptop, a test server, or in the cloud.
