2. What is the difference between docker stop and docker kill?

Docker stop / kill commands are used to stop the running docker container.

After docker stop <name>,

“docker ps -a ” will show the status as Exited (0)

But after docker kill <name>,

“docker ps -a ” will show the status as Exited (137).
ie, docker stop sends SIGTERM as process end signal and SIGKILL is send by docker kill.
