How is kill different from stop?

Question

Docker

What is the correct way to stop a container and what is the difference between docker kill and docker stop?

Answer 1

docker stop sends a SIGTERM signal and only kills the process after a while if it hasn't exited "in an amicable way". And docker kill - immediately sends SIGKILL and beats without unnecessary expectations. Or another signal that can be specified as a parameter.
