Difference Between Vagrant and Docker

1. Vagrant: It is a tool for constructing and managing virtual computing device environments in a single workflow. It offers an easy and convenient to use command-line client for managing these environments, the center of attention on automation, and an interpreter for the text-based definitions of what every environment appears like, referred to as Vagrant files.

2. Docker: It is a combination of PaaS products that use the OS stage visualization to supply software program in packages referred to as containers, which are remoted from  some other and bundle their very own software, libraries, and configuration files; they can talk with each other via well-defined channels.

Basically, it is a technology that is used to create and run containers. It has two main components: the client command-line interface (CLI) tool and the container runtime where the CLI tool is used to execute instructions to the Docker runtime at the command line and the job of the Docker runtime is to create containers and then run them on the operating system.
