What Is Docker and How Does Containerization Actually Work?

Docker and containerization revolutionize software deployment by packaging applications and their dependencies into lightweight, portable containers. Unlike traditional virtual machines, containers use OS-level virtualization for faster startup times, higher resource efficiency, and consistent performance across environments. This approach enables developers to streamline workflows, scale applications effortlessly, and eliminate the "it works on my machine" problem.
