Ted Neward’s Docker article introduces the technology’s rise to mainstream relevance and demystifies how it works for developers, especially those from the Windows ecosystem. It covers installing and running Docker, the distinction between images and containers, and how Dockerfiles express reproducible environments. Neward explains practical usage—volume mounting, port mapping, and building/publishing images—while comparing Docker’s philosophy to traditional virtualization (Hyper-V/VirtualBox) and highlighting its suitability for repeatable deployments and microservices. He also touches on orchestration (Kubernetes, Swarm) and the CI/CD value of Dockerfiles as delivery artifacts.
