Docker

docker run = docker create + docker start

A stopped container can be restarted with start, unlike an exited container. ps will show only running containers, add the -a flag to include stopped ones. docker ps -l will who only the most recently created container, though in recent versions this may be -n 1, where you can manipulate the ouput, such as listing the last 5 created containers with docker ps -n 5. Use -q for "quiet" mode that will only list ids.

❯ docker ps -n 3 -q

The main difference between the paused and stopped (exited) states is that the memory portion of the state is cleared when a container is stopped, whereas, in the paused state, its memory portion stays intact.
