Understanding the Relationship
Docker is a container ecosystem and tooling platform. Kubernetes is a container orchestration system that schedules workloads across a cluster and provides service discovery, scaling, rollout, and self-healing capabilities.
Modern Kubernetes environments commonly use OCI-compatible images and container runtimes that implement the Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface. Learning Docker remains valuable because images, registries, Dockerfiles, and container debugging are foundational concepts.
