[[Docker Desktop]] is an easy application to install to your MAC or Windows environment that allows you to create and share containers and microservices. [[Docker]] desktop includes the Daemon of [[Docker]] (dockerd), the client [[Docker]] (docker), [[Docker]] compose, [[Docker]] Kubernetes [[Docker]] and Credential Helper. To provide a consistent user experience on different operating systems, [[Docker Desktop]] uses native host system virtualization to run and manage a virtual machine for [[Docker Engine]]. This offers developers a ready -to -use solution to run a containerization set set on any device or operating system.
