5 Differences between CMD and ENTRYPOINT with example

CMD Entrypoint

1. the executable command will be replaced by the command 1. The executable command can’t be changed
   given while running the container
2. We can’t pass the arguments for the CMD command 2. The commands passed while running the container will be appended to the RUN command
3. Multiple times can be added in the dockerfile 3. same as CMD
   but the last line will override the previous
4. Choose CMD if you need to provide a default command 4. Prefer ENTRYPOINT to CMD when building executable Docker image
   and/or arguments that can be overwritten from command line and you need a command always to be execute
   when docker container runs
5. Treated as additional param when it is used 5. Always the main command
   along with ENTRYPOINT
