DOCKER & KUBERNETES

Docker and Kubernetes continues to grow & large enterprises are starting to build container strategies for both development and operations. Docker and Kubernetes are a natural fit for furthering DevOps automation. Docker is lightweight, portable and hardware-agnostic. Docker’s packaging enables a developer to write an application in any language and then easily move it. Kubernetes is purpose-built with a simplicity of design that has made it the container orchestration tool of choice.
