title: pause vs stop in docker
body: <p>I am trying to understand what is the difference between the commands <code>docker stop ContainerID</code> and <code>docker pause ContainerID</code>. According to <a href="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/docker/docker_working_with_containers.htm" rel="noreferrer">this page</a> both of them are used to pause an existing Docker container.</p>
