Dockerfile defines the instructions to build Docker images.

Ensures reproducible, portable, and lightweight container environments.

Supports automation and optimization via layers and caching.

Integrates with CI/CD and container orchestration tools.

Essential for modern DevOps and microservices workflows.

Can Dockerfile run multiple commands? -> Yes, using RUN with && or multi-line syntax.

Is Dockerfile cross-platform? -> Mostly, but base images need platform compatibility.

Can I use environment variables? -> Yes, with ENV and ARG instructions.

Do Dockerfiles replace Docker Compose? -> No, Compose orchestrates containers, Dockerfile builds images.

Is Dockerfile free? -> Yes, Docker Engine is free; usage of Docker Hub may vary.
