 Simply put, a container is a sandboxed process on your machine that is isolated from all other processes on the host machine. That isolation leverages [kernel namespaces and cgroups](https://medium.com/@saschagrunert/demystifying-containers-part-i-kernel-space-2c53d6979504),
 features that have been in Linux for a long time. Docker has worked to make these capabilities approachable and easy to use. To summarize, a container:
 
-- is a runnable instance of an image. You can create, start, stop, move, or delete a container using the DockerAPI or CLI.
-- can be run on local machines, virtual machines or deployed to the cloud.
-- is portable (can be run on any OS).
-- is isolated from other containers and runs its own software, binaries, and configurations.
