I keep seeing Docker being mentioned everywhere, but I can't seem to figure out what it is.
maybe I'm just dumb or my Google Fu isn't as good as I thought, but can you offer an explanation? is it just virtualization software?
If I understood correctly, Docker is a software to maintain containers. Containers are ready to go images that can run on top of your base os, like virtualisation but in a more direct way, for exemple by sharing the kernel with the os, making it lighter and way more efficient than full virtualisation
So like an App Store for programmers…?
