What is a Container?
A Container is a stripped-down lightweight image of an operating system, which is then bundled with the application package and other dependencies to run a Container in an isolated process. A container shares the core components such as kernel, network drivers, system tools, libraries, and many other settings from the host operating system. The purpose of a Container is to have a standard image that is packaged, published, and deployed to a cluster such as Docker swarm or Kubernetes. To learn more about containers history, please visit the official Docker website.
