Docker: Containerization
Docker is a containerization platform that packages applications with all dependencies into a single unit (container) that runs consistently anywhere.
Kubernetes: Orchestration
Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that manages Docker containers at scale, handling deployment, scaling, and networking across multiple machines.
Key Differences
Docker
- ✓ Single machine focus
- ✓ Containerizes applications
- ✓ Easy to learn
- ✓ Limited scaling
- ✓ Manual management
Kubernetes
- ✓ Multi-machine clusters
- ✓ Orchestrates containers
- ✓ Steeper learning curve
- ✓ Automatic scaling
- ✓ Self-healing
How They Work Together
1
Create with Docker
Build application, package in Docker image
2
Deploy with Kubernetes
Submit Docker image to Kubernetes cluster
3
Manage Automatically
Kubernetes handles scaling, updates, healing
