HAXCMS in Docker

What is Docker

Docker is a platform as a service(PaaS) product that containerizes applications with only necessary dependencies. As a result, no matter what OS runs the container, it will behave the same. Using a tool such as Kubernetes allows for multiple containers and thereby instances of the same application to be deployed at once. Docker allows containers to be tagged allowed for versioning and additional metadata to be saved. In production environments, docker is used to create containers but Kubernetes is used to deploy containers.
