What is Docker Compose?

Docker Compose is a containers orchestration. When using Docker extensively, the management of serveral different containers quickly becomes cumbersome. Docker Compose (or any other containers orchestration, like Kubernetes) is a tool that helps overcoming this problem and easily handle multiple containers at once.

Docker Compose works by applying many rules declared within a single docker-compose.yaml configuration file.

In the next few sections, we will provide a step-by-step instructions on how to create a Docker image with Docker Compose.
