Docker info Command

Docker allows you to build, ship, and run applications in lightweight containers. It allows applications to run consistently across different environments by packaging the code along with its dependencies.

Docker is an open-source platform designed to automate the deployment of applications
inside portable containers. Containers are lightweight, fast, and provide consistency
by isolating the application from the underlying system. Docker makes it easier for
teams to develop, test, and deploy applications in a reliable and scalable way.

health of the Docker environment.
