Containerizing applications provides portability, allowing them to run consistently across different environments, and enables efficient resource utilization and scalability, making it easier to deploy, manage, and scale applications effectively. Containerizing applications using Docker provides additional advantages such as simplified packaging, distribution, and deployment. Docker allows for easy creation and management of containers, making it a popular choice for containerization due to its comprehensive tooling and ecosystem support.
<aside> 💡 In this page will be containerizing and running the annotator program locally (on a personal computer and not in AWS). This will essentially take the data packets from the client program and supplement them with additional information from another data source (For our airplane tracker application, we downloaded data from the FAA’s (Federal Aviation Administration) Releasable Aircraft Database and used it to append additional information to each packet).
