Docker

-

The Linux container runtime

+

The Linux container engine

-

- 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. -

-

- 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. -

+

+ Docker is an open-source engine which automates the deployment of applications as highly portable, self-sufficient containers. +

+ +

+ Docker containers are both hardware-agnostic and platform-agnostic. 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. +

+ +

+ Docker is an open-source implementation of the deployment engine which powers dotCloud, 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. +
