Docker
Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications using containerization. It packages software into standardized units called containers that include everything needed for the application to run, ensuring consistency across multiple development and deployment environments. Docker includes tools for container management, image registries, secure supply chain verification, and isolated runtime execution for modern software development workflows.
