 It is important to realize that Docker is inherently a '''Linux''' technology.
+'''Key aspects of containers'''
+;Portability:
+:Containers (or at least the image that created it) can be easily moved and run on different machines and environments without modification, ensuring consistent behavior.
+;Isolation:
+:Each container runs in its own isolated environment, preventing conflicts between different applications and improving security.
+;Lightweight:
+:Containers share the host operating system's kernel, making them smaller and faster to start than virtual machines.
+;Scalability:
+:Containers can be easily scaled up or down to meet the demands of an application.
+;Automation:
+:Containers are often used in conjunction with container orchestration platforms like [[Kubernetes]] to automate application deployment and management.
