A Docker Image is a read-only template that contains the instructions for creating a Docker Container. It is a snapshot of a container that can be used to create new containers. For example, if you have a web application, you can create a base Docker Image that contains the web server, application code, and other dependencies.
A Docker Container is a runtime instance of a Docker Image. It is the actual running version of the image that you can interact with. For example, if you have a web application, you can create a Docker Container from the base image and start the web server and application code.
