A Docker image is a lightweight, standalone, and executable package that contains everything needed to run a piece of software, including the code, runtime, libraries, and settings. It serves as a blueprint for creating Docker containers. A container, on the other hand, is an instance of a Docker image running as a lightweight, isolated process on the host operating system. While images are static, containers are dynamic and can be started, stopped, or scaled based on application needs.
