What is the difference between "Docker host" and "Docker Container"?

Answered by Donna Chapman

The Host is the machine managing the containers and images, where you actually installed Docker. Docker host is the machine where you installed the docker engine. the docker container can be compared with a simple process running on that same docker host.

Docker host can be Bare metal, VM image, iso, image hosted on some clouds, etc.
