Docker Deep Dive: Build, Ship, Run Anywhere
Docker Deep Dive: Build, Ship, Run Anywhere Docker helps you package applications in small, portable units called containers. The idea is simple: you create a consistent environment, build an image, and run that image on any host that has Docker. The three steps are build, ship, and run. This flow works across laptops, servers, and cloud services. Build images efficiently A Dockerfile is a text recipe. It describes the base image, files to copy, and commands to run. Write clean steps, and use multi-stage builds to keep the final image small. Each stage can compile code, then copy only the needed artifacts to the final runtime stage. This saves space and speeds up deployments. Keep the number of layers low by combining related commands, and rely on caching to speed up repeated builds. To try a quick build, you might run the command docker build -t my-app:1.0 . in the project folder. ...
