The most popular tool for building and running containers.
You write a Dockerfile describing your environment ("start with Ubuntu, install PHP 8.2, copy in my code, run it"), build an image, and can then run that image on any Docker host.
Standard in modern development. Alternatives exist (Podman, containerd directly) but 90% of the world says "Docker" when they mean "container".
