Docker complements LXC with a high-level API which operates at the process level.
It runs unix processes with strong guarantees of isolation and repeatability across servers.
</p>
<p>
Docker is a great building block for automating distributed systems: large-scale web deployments, database clusters, continuous deployment systems, private PaaS, service-oriented architectures, etc.
</p>
<p>
Docker is an open-source engine which automates the deployment of applications as highly portable, self-sufficient containers.
</p>
<p>
Docker containers are both <string>hardware-agnostic</strong> and <strong>platform-agnostic</strong>. This means that they can run anywhere, from your
laptop to the largest EC2 compute instance and everything in between - and they don't require that you use a particular
language, framework or packaging system. That makes them great building blocks for deploying and scaling web apps, databases
and backend services without depending on a particular stack or provider.
</p>
<p>
Docker is an open-source implementation of the deployment engine which powers <a href="http://dotcloud.com">dotCloud</a>, a popular Platform-as-a-Service.
It benefits directly from the experience accumulated over several years of large-scale operation and support of hundreds of thousands
of applications and databases.
