Docker是一个开源的应用容器引擎，使用Go语言开发，基于Linux内核的cgroup,namespace,Union FS等技术，对应用进程进行封装隔离，并且独立于宿主机与其他进程，这种运行时封装的状态称为容器。
Docker早期版本实现是基于LXC，并进一步对其封装，包括文件系统、网络互联、镜像管理等方面，极大简化了容器管理。从0.7版本以后开始去除LXC,转为自省研发的libcontainer，从1.11版本开始，进一步为使用runC和containerd。
Docker理念是将应用及依赖包打包到一个可移植的容器中，可发布到任意Linux发行版Docker引擎上。使用沙箱机制运行程序，程序之间相互隔离。
