Interview Q&A / Docker & Kubernetes

1. What is Docker Compose and when would you use it?

   Docker Compose lets you define a multi-container app, such as a web server, database and cache, in one YAML file and start or stop all of it with one command. It sets up a shared network so services reach each other by name, and it is mainly used for local development, testing and small single-server deployments.

2. What is the difference between docker compose stop, down and down -v?

   stop halts containers but keeps them. down stops and removes containers and networks. down -v also deletes the named volumes, which destroys stored data.
