It encapsulates heterogeneous payloads in Standard Containers, and runs them on any server with strong guarantees of isolation and repeatability. - -It is designed to be used as a reliable building block for the automation of distributed systems: large web deployments, database clusters, continuous deployment, private PaaS, service-oriented architectures, etc. - * *Heterogeneous payloads*: any combination of binaries, libraries, configuration files, scripts, virtualenvs, jars, gems, tarballs, you name it. No more juggling between domain-specific tools. Docker can deploy and run them all. * *Any server*: docker can run on any x64 machine with a modern linux kernel - whether it's a laptop, a bare metal server or a VM. This makes it perfect for multi-cloud deployments.
