In this specific case, we are looking forward to becoming proficient managing SQL Server containers. The better you learn and understand all the command line client instructions to interact with the Docker daemon, the faster you will start developing, shipping and running containerized applications.

Containers are created one day for a specific task and the next day stopped or even deleted to be rebuilt from a recent version of the image that includes minimal changes in the configuration or functionality of the containerized application.
