# What is Docker Cloud?
|
|
|
|
Docker Cloud is a hosted service that provides a Registry with build and testing
|
|
facilities for Dockerized application images, tools to help you set up and
|
|
manage your host infrastructure, and deployment features to help you automate
|
|
deploying your images to your infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
#### Your Docker Cloud account and Docker ID
|
|
|
|
You log in to Docker Cloud using your free Docker ID. Your Docker ID is the same
|
|
set of credentials you used to log in to Docker Hub, and this allows you to
|
|
access your Docker Hub repositories from Docker Cloud.
|
|
|
|
#### Images, Builds, and Testing
|
|
|
|
Docker Cloud uses Docker Hub as an online registry service. This allows you to
|
|
publish Dockerized images on the internet either publicly or privately. Along
|
|
with the ability to store pre-built images, Docker Cloud can link to your source
|
|
code repositories and manage building and testing your images before pushing the
|
|
images.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Infrastructure management
|
|
|
|
Before you can do anything with images, you need somewhere to run them. Docker
|
|
Cloud allows you to link to your infrastructure or cloud services provider which
|
|
lets you provision new nodes automatically, and deploy images directly from your
|
|
Docker Cloud repositories onto your infrastructure hosts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Services, Stacks, and Applications
|
|
|
|
Images are just one layer in containerized applications. Once you've built an
|
|
image, you can use it to produce containers, which make up a service, or use
|
|
Docker Cloud's stackfiles to combine it with other services and microservices,
|
|
to form a full application.
