Docker 1.9.1

Docker is a program that allows developers a space to create and manage their applications inside a Linux based virtual container meaning that apps can be worked on without the need for any additional hardware or even a virtual server.

This means that apps can be worked on without being affected by hardware or operating systems.

Normally to create custom and bespoke apps you would have to invest in a lot of hardware to do this or at least have to run and manage a virtual server but with Docker you are able to create custom apps without the need for any additional hardware or virtual servers and the only thing you have to manage is Docker itself.

It is free to use but there are parts of it such as the private and public repositories that you would have to pay for should you wish to use them.

Docker has been receiving much praise already and is being used by some of the biggest tech firms out there including Microsoft. It is a powerful and intelligent program and with the ability to now do virtually what would have cost a lot in hardware before it is providing a fantastic service.
