Docker-in-Docker (DinD)

Docker-in-Docker (DinD) is a containerization pattern and set of techniques used to run a Docker daemon inside a Docker container.^[400-devops-03-containerization-kaniko.md]

Context and Alternatives

While Docker-in-Docker allows for containerized container builds, it is often cited as a precursor or context for specialized tools. For example, kaniko is a build image tool designed to run in a Kubernetes Pod (building images within a Pod) and is often discussed in relation to the challenges DinD presents, such as security privileges and complexity.^[400-devops-03-containerization-kaniko.md]
