Docker has moved from an obscure Linux project to one of the most popular open source technologies in cloud computing. Project developers have witnessed millions of Docker Engine downloads. Hundreds of Docker groups have formed in 40 countries. Many more companies are announcing Docker integration. Even Microsoft will ship Windows 10 with Docker preinstalled. “That caught a lot of people by surprise,” said Docker founder and CTO Solomon Hykes. Docker is an open platform for building, shipping and running distributed applications.
