Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications.
 | 
						||
Docker enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure so you
 | 
						||
can deliver software quickly. With Docker, you can manage your infrastructure in
 | 
						||
the same ways you manage your applications. By taking advantage of Docker’s
 | 
						||
methodologies for shipping, testing, and deploying code quickly, you can
 | 
						||
significantly reduce the delay between writing code and running it in production.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
You can download and install Docker on multiple platforms. Refer to the following
 | 
						||
section and choose the best installation path for you.
