Abstract

Docker is an open source tool that simplifies managing Linux containers. A container is a sandbox environment that runs a collection of processes. Containers are light-weight VMs that share the same kernel as the host OS.

Docker adds some niceties to Linux containers such as AUFS, version control, docker registry (repository), versioning etc.
