This document provides an overview of Docker, including:
- Docker enables building applications from components and eliminates friction between development, QA and production environments.
- Other container options include LXC, LXD and OpenVZ, but Docker has gained popularity for its ease of use.
- Docker components include images, containers, registries, and more.
- Docker Hub and Quay.io are popular registries for finding and sharing Docker images.
