          Docker is a VM with new idea about resource sharing - nothing more... If it is good or bad, as always, depends on your needs...

              I dont' use it either, but I've been following it since the beginning.. seems the big thing with it is that the container with all the bits already installed into it becomes the deliverable that someone runs on their server. Remember that How it feels to learn JavaScript in 2016[^] article a while back? Can you imagine writing the docs so someone who's never seen those technologies can get the right versions of them installed on the server? Don't bother, just do it yourself into a Docker container and ship 'em the container.

              We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

                  That is exactly what I could do with a VM.

                    Absolutely, but an entire VM takes a ton more resources to run since there's an entire OS in it. Think of a Docker container like a light weight VM.

                      Tried it on MAC. Just out of curiosity, I've created a simple .NET Core app and then deployed it on docker. So far good and it works just fine.

                            Docker would make sense if you want to build microservices, where each service will run independently and deployed separately without impacting other services that the app needs.

                                    Pricing ist for hosting containers in their Datacenter or for using their Cloud. The technology itself is free to use as far as I know. You can do the hosting yourself

                                        I use it for cross compilation without cluttering the file system or accidentally referencing a native element of the tool chain ... almost like a temporary chroot jail. And I can easily share the environment with other members of the team. Other teams at my company use it for deploying services across a server farm.

                                          Here's a use case for you. Google released an English language parser based on their tensorflow machine learning platform. I could download all the code from their git repository, set up a VM with all the right Java bits, and go through a 3 hour compilation process, and maybe get everything built successfully... ...or, I can download their Docker image and run that image in a Docker container on my machine in a fraction of the time and get to playing with the English parser which is what I was really interested in. I'm not a Docker expert, but I've been dabbling in it and I see potential. As others have mentioned, it really depends on your use case (insert quote about everything looking like a nail when you're holding a hammer). In my opinion, it is a slightly different take on virtualization. It seems more lightweight than other virtualization platforms (I have used VMware in the past, tend to use VirtualBox these days), but part of that is because it appears aimed at temporary resources. Hope this info helps! Cheers, Carl
