Why Docker?

In recent years, containerization technology has become increasingly popular, with Docker being at the forefront of this trend. With the intensive focus on FASTTRACK WMS in 2022, making the installation process as streamlined and easy as possible was important. Due to its many advantages, Docker was chosen as the go-to technology to simplify software installations.

One of the main benefits of Docker is that it eliminates the need for operating system prerequisites and configuration from the software installation process. This means that users can download the Docker image and have a reliable and replicable installation base with little to no configuration. This is a significant improvement over traditional installation methods that require manual configuration and can lead to errors and inconsistencies.

Docker works by building up a static image in layers, which is then executed as a Docker container. The container shares the kernel with its host, which means it is not a virtual machine. This allows for faster startup times and reduced resource consumption compared to traditional virtual machines. Docker containers are also smaller in size, making them easier to distribute and deploy.

Another key advantage of Docker is that it makes managing dependencies between different software components easy. By encapsulating each component in its own container, it becomes easier to manage and update each component separately. This can be especially useful when dealing with complex software systems that have many different components and dependencies.

Docker also makes it easy to replicate environments across different platforms. This is because Docker containers are self-contained, meaning they contain everything needed to run the software, including the operating system, libraries, and dependencies. This makes creating identical environments across different machines easy, which can be useful in testing and development scenarios.

Additionally, Docker provides a high level of security. Each container is isolated from other containers and the host system, which reduces the risk of security breaches. Docker also provides a way to limit access to specific resources, such as network ports or files, which can further enhance security.

Overall, Docker has many advantages, making it a great choice for simplifying software installations. Its ability to eliminate operating system prerequisites and configuration, manage dependencies, and replicate environments across different platforms while also providing security, makes it an ideal choice for modern software development. In the future, Docker will continue to play a key role in simplifying software installations and improving the reliability of software systems.
