# Introduction Docker is a powerful tool for packaging and distributing applications as containers. At the core of this process are Docker images, which are pre-built packages containing everything needed to run an application, including the code, dependencies, and configuration. In this lab, you will learn how to create custom Docker images that enhance your applications by incorporating additional software, libraries, or configurations. **Throughout this lab, we'll be using WebIDE (VS Code) to edit files. WebIDE provides a familiar and user-friendly interface for file editing, making it easier to work with configuration files and code.**
