Q68 / 100
What is the difference between "docker stop" and "docker kill"?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) "docker stop" sends SIGTERM and waits a grace period before sending SIGKILL, allowing graceful shutdown, while "docker kill" sends SIGKILL (or a specified signal) immediately, forcefully terminating the container
B
Correct Answer
"docker stop" sends SIGTERM and waits a grace period before sending SIGKILL, allowing graceful shutdown, while "docker kill" sends SIGKILL (or a specified signal) immediately, forcefully terminating the container
Explanation
docker stop gives the process a chance to clean up (close connections, flush data) before forcing termination, whereas docker kill terminates immediately without that grace period.
