If you're familiar with Java, think of a docker container like a WAR or EAR, except it can contain ANY dependency, not just Java code. Database, binaries, cache server, you name it. The implementation is vastly different, but the effect is a deployment artifact that can be configured at build time, and easily deployed to multiple servers.
