[**Docker**](https://www.docker.io) is a platform for developers and [**Docker**](https://www.docker.io) is a platform for developers and
sysadmins to develop, ship, and run applications. Docker consists of: sysadmins to develop, ship, and run applications. Docker lets you quickly assemble applications from components and eliminates the friction that can come when shipping code. Docker lets you get your code tested and deployed into production as fast as possible.

Docker enables applications to be quickly assembled from components and
eliminates the friction when shipping code. We want to help you get code
from your desktop, tested and deployed into production as fast as
possible.
