Docker is an open-source application that provides lightweight operating-system-level virtualization through the use of containers. It is specially designed to increase the productivity of most IT operations by making virtualization easy to use.

Increased IT operation efficiency
Faster resolution of issues that may arise
Reduction in IT infrastructure cost
