Docker is the most revolutionized technology in virtualization world nowadays. Docker is actually an open source project which provides container technology. A container is a lightweight VM(virtual machine) or a process which allows us to install Linux based applications inside it. The container doesn’t have its own Kernel, RAM, CPU and Disk but it uses the underlying OS kernel, RAM, CPU cores and Disk.

Step 4- Test our docker image by running a Container:

docker run -dit --name webS -p 8080:80 ubuntu16:apache-php7.2

Verify Running Container

docker container ls
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                   COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                        NAMES
