Summary

Developers using Docker benefit from the ability to quickly build and test various code and environment combinations through container-based development, allowing for efficient blue-green deployment and A/B testing. However, resource limitations on development machines may require the removal of images and termination of containers to manage and run new versions effectively. To aid in this process, command-line tricks such as forcing the removal of images with 'docker rmi -f' can help clean up the working environment. Additionally, when using the 'docker ps' command, omitting the ':<tag>' will list only containers based on the 'latest' tag of a specified image.
