Docker Engine - Community

For those trying to make the process of software development and release faster and easier Docker becomes a powerful platform for setting up continuous integration and continuous deployment.

Using containers allows to quickly assemble all the elements together ensuring that the transition between development, QA and production environment is smooth and consistent.

Docker Engine accordingly is a specific technology to build and run containers using its own components and services.

The components included in it are as follows:

• Docker daemon is a server interacting with the OS and performing various services (like creating and managing Docker objects: images, containers, networks, and volumes)
• REST API specifies interfaces that programs can use to interact with the daemon
• Command Line Interface (CLI) client interacts with the Docker daemon via the API.

As Docker Engine lets create new containers quickly and easily, the rapid iteration of the applications can be enabled, and the overall visibility of changes will be increased.

Docker containers are lightweight and can run almost everywhere. They can be deployed on desktops, as well as in huge data centers and moved from a testing environment into the cloud and back without significant efforts.

With Docker Engine - Community, the installation to Ubuntu Linux environments becomes easy and simple, and then the developer gets a stable way to build, ship, and run distributed applications at any scale.
