Docker is an open-source platform that packages applications and their dependencies into lightweight, portable containers that run consistently across different computing environments. Developers and DevOps engineers use it to streamline application deployment, testing, and scaling by isolating software from the underlying infrastructure. It has become a foundational tool in modern software development, CI/CD pipelines, and microservices architecture.
