Docker Explained, Architecture, Security, and 2025 Container Trends
Mon Feb 02 2026
Docker completely changed how modern software is built, shipped, and run. In this episode of Autonomous Airwaves, we break down what Docker actually is, how containers work behind the scenes, and why they are so much lighter than traditional virtual machines.
We explore how Docker uses the host system's kernel, layered filesystems, and isolation features to create consistent environments that behave the same on your laptop, a server, or in the cloud. From there, we zoom out to the wider container ecosystem, including how Docker is often paired with tools like Kubernetes to manage applications at scale.
Cloud-native. We also talk honestly about container security, why it matters more than ever, and how the industry is responding. Finally, we look ahead to 2025, covering trends such as cloud-native development, microservices everywhere, AI-driven tooling, and the shift away from purely local workflows.
As always, this episode uses a bit of AI magic to help shape the discussion. If you'd ever like to jump on for a fully human interview or conversation, drop an email to podcast@beitmenotyou.online.
