Docker Debug is a new feature available from Docker Desktop 4.27.0 that allows you to attach a shell to Docker container or image, even though they have no shell available. The feature helps engineers to debug their containers and images without having to install additional tools in them. Docker Debug comes with a pre-installed set of tools, like editors, ping, etc., but you can also install your own tools.
