Docker
Docker is a containerization platform that packages applications and their dependencies into portable, isolated containers that run consistently across any environment. Containers use OS-level virtualization to share the host kernel while maintaining process and filesystem isolation. In AI development, Docker is essential for reproducible environments (consistent Python versions, CUDA drivers, model dependencies), local development that mirrors production, and deploying multi-service architectures (API server, worker processes, vector database, cache). Docker Compose orchestrates multi-container setups for local development.
