Docker has become a fan favorite because it saves a ton of time when setting up development environments. Creating applications for multiple operating systems require working with multiple different environments, which is something you can save money and time on by using Docker, which allows you to deploy virtual environments on different operating systems.

Docker works wonders when it comes to this! Now combine this brilliant technology with AWS, and you get an even more powerful working environment.
