Docker is a software development platform which makes use of containers in a shared operating system kernel yet run in isolation. This technology enables us to launch and run operating systems in minimal time and space and is used to protect applications in multiple operating systems due to the increased efficiency and reduced size.

Once the docker file is written, the build command is invoked that builds a docker image.

The docker image contains instructions on which software applications to run and how.

Docker Hub is an online SaaS repository for managing containers, which includes official docker images from open source projects and software vendors.
