10. What does 'docker commit' accomplish?

Uploads an image to Docker Hub

Creates a new image from a modified container

Saves container logs to a file

Commits changes to the host system

11. What is the primary purpose of containerization in Linux environments?

To package applications with dependencies in isolated environments

To replace virtual machines entirely

To increase CPU clock speed

To eliminate the need for operating systems

12. Which command displays running containers in Docker?

Docker list

Docker ps

Docker show

Docker status

13. What is the purpose of volume mounting in containers?

To increase container RAM

To persist data outside the container filesystem

To encrypt container data

To limit CPU usage

14. Container networking in Docker bridge mode allows:

Containers to communicate with the host and each other

Only host-to-container communication

No network access

Direct internet access without NAT

15. What does the Dockerfile instruction 'EXPOSE' do?

Opens ports on the host machine

Documents which ports the container listens on

Requires explicit port mapping when running

Blocks all incoming network traffic

16. Which registry is the default public repository for Docker images?

GitHub Registry

Docker Hub

GitLab Container Registry

Amazon ECR

17. In containerization, layers in a Docker image represent:

Network isolation levels

Security permission tiers

Stacked filesystem changes during image construction

Virtual CPU cores allocated

18. What command creates a new container from a Docker image?

Docker build

Docker run

Docker create

Docker start

19. A Docker image is best described as:

A running instance of a container

A read-only template used to create containers

A virtual machine snapshot

A network configuration file

20. Which of the following is a key difference between Docker and Podman?

Podman uses a daemon architecture while Docker does not

Docker uses a daemon while Podman is daemonless

Podman cannot run containers on Linux

Docker is free while Podman requires a license
