Following issues are resolved by utilizing Docker during software development:
1. The portability of software to different operating systems is a significant problem in software development. If the software runs on Linux, then there is a need to install Linux OS and Windows OS. Virtualization is possible, but it takes hardware resources and computing. With Docker, it can create a virtual machine and run a different OS.
2. During software development, if one of the applications equips all the disk space of the hardware it is running, then other applications will not have space and may stop running. In Docker, specific storage space is allocated for each application. So, even if an application's storage space is full, other applications will not be affected.
3. Containerization of software helps protect the software's content such as libraries, codes and others. So, the security benefits of Docker are critical in software development.
