Docker is best known for its capability to build and run containers.
|
||
This is how we have used the term "Docker" in the Tech Radar recently.
|
||
But Docker is also a complete production platform, where the capability to build and run Containers is only a small fraction of its capabilities.
|
||
At the same time numerous alternate runtimes for containers – like containerd and podman – as well as image builders – like Kaniko and Buildah – have evolved during the last years.
|
||
Thanks to the standards established by the Open Container Initiative these tools are mostly interchangeable for the purposes of building and running containers.
|
||
|
||
To be more distinct, we now recommend using [Containers and Runtimes as specified by the Open Container Initiative](/platforms-and-aoe-services/oci-container.html).
|
||
Docker is one of many tools to achieve that.
