Developing with Docker

Summary

An image is a specific state of a filesystem: a read-only, frozen immutable snapshot of a live container. It's composed of layers representing changes in the filesystem at various points in time; layers are a bit like the commit history of a Git repository. Containers, on the other hand are runtime instances of an image. They can have state (for example, running or stopped). You can make changes to the filesystem on a container and commit them to make them persisted, but only changes in the filesystem can be committed - memory changes will be lost.
