Learning Docker

Docker on Linux

Suppose that we want to directly run the containers on a Linux machine. The Docker engine produces, monitors, and manages multiple containers as illustrated in the following diagram:

The preceding diagram vividly illustrates how future IT systems would have hundreds of application-aware containers, which would innately be capable of facilitating their seamless integration and orchestration for deriving modular applications (business, social, mobile, analytical, and embedded solutions). These contained applications could fluently run on converged, federated, virtualized, shared, dedicated, and automated infrastructures.
