This is the documentation for an Introduction to Docker for Redapt's "Microsoft DevOps Workshop".

Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers.

Docker containers wrap up a piece of software in a complete filesystem that contains everything it needs to run: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries – anything you can install on a server. This guarantees that it will always run the same, regardless of the environment it is running in. Docker.com
