Docker technology has revolutionized the infrastructure management landscape in such a way that Docker has now become a synonym for containers. It is important to understand that all dockers are containers, but all containers are not dockers. While Docker is the most commonly used container technology, there are several other alternatives to Docker. In this blog, we will explore the Docker alternatives to your SaaS application.
What Is Docker?
Docker is an application containerization platform that is quite popular in IT circles. This open-source software enables developers to easily package applications along with their dependencies, OS, libraries, and other run-time-related resources in containers and automatically deploy them on any infrastructure. With cloud-native architecture and multi-cloud environments becoming popular choices for most organizations, Docker is the most convenient choice for building, sharing, deploying, and managing containers using APIs and simple commands in these environments.
