Docker:
Function: Docker is a platform to develop, ship, and run applications inside containers. A container is a lightweight, standalone package that contains everything needed to run a piece of software, including the code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings.
Benefits: The primary advantage of Docker is its ability to package and run applications in a loosely isolated environment called a container. This isolation and security allow you to run many containers simultaneously on a given host.
Use Case: Docker can package an application with all its dependencies into a standardized unit for software development. This ensures that the application works seamlessly in any environment.
Kubernetes:
Function: Kubernetes, often abbreviated as K8s, is an open-source platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and operation of application containers. It works with a range of container tools, including Docker.
Benefits: Kubernetes provides a framework to run distributed systems resiliently. It takes care of scaling and failover for your application, provides deployment patterns, and more.
Use Case: For example, Kubernetes can easily manage a canary deployment for your system, handling the automation of rolling out and rolling back updates, monitoring the health of your applications, and ensuring that instances are replaced or repaired when necessary.
