Understand the idea of “packaging” code to some degree, but why would this process need to be done? What is being resused and changing in the process to require scalability and efficiency that is described with the benefits of dockerization? It’s just not registering. Thanks.

Docker is essentially a fancy version of a virtual machine – it takes the basics of “run a miniature computer session on my computer” and adds in features like automatic software installation and platform standardization.

So with Docker, you can essentially roll out an ad hoc installation of some software with a click or two, instead of having to manage any details. And you can roll out as many as you need.
