Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build ship and run distributed applications.  this is a very brief definition. In shortest words using Docker you can create mini virtual machines inside a virtual machine on Azure. I suggest you read following articles on C# Corner: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/mahesh/understanding-basics-of-docker-containers/ http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/introduction-to-docker/ http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/getting-started-with-docker-and-Asp-Net-core/ http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/docker-on-windows/ I also suggest to check articles on MSDN too please mark my answer as accepted if it fulfils your questions.
