FROM       — Sets the Base Image for subsequent instructions.
MAINTAINER — Sets the Author field of the generated images.
RUN        — Executes any commands in a new layer on top of the current image and commits the results. The resulting committed image will be used for the next step in the Dockerfile.
CMD        — Provides default values for an executing container.
EXPOSE    — Informs Docker that the container listens on the specified network ports at runtime. NOTE: does not actually make ports accessible.
ENV        — Sets environment variables.
ADD        — Copies new files, directories or remote file to the filesystem of the image.
COPY       — Copies new files or directories to the filesystem of the image.
ENTRYPOINT — Configures a container that will run as an executable.
VOLUME     — Creates a mount point with the specified name and marks it as holding externally mounted volumes from native host or other containers.
WORKDIR    — Sets the working directory for any RUN, CMD, ENTRYPOINT, COPY and ADD instructions that follow it in the Dockerfile.
USER       — Sets the username or UID to use when running the image and for any RUN, CMD and ENTRYPOINT instructions that follow it in the Dockerfile.
ARG        — Defines a variable that users can pass at build-time to the builder with the docker build command using the --build-arg <varname>=<value> flag. If a user specifies a build argument that was not defined in the Dockerfile, the build outputs a warning.
ONBUILD    — Adds to the image a trigger instruction to be executed at a later time, when the image is used as the base for another build. The trigger will be executed in the context of the downstream Dockerfile.
STOPSIGNAL — Specifies a system call signal that overrides the default STOPSIGNAL value set by the ENTRYPOINT instruction.
HEALTHCHECK — Specifies how the container should be tested for health – this can be a command or a script.
SHELL      — Sets the default shell to use for commands (e.g., /bin/bash -c).
