Its platform allows developers and system administrators to create and run applications as a collection of containers that work across laptops, data center virtual machines, and public cloud instances. Docker also offers an application run-time andpackaging tool and a cloud service for sharing applications and automating workflows. Starting in 2008, dotCloud became Docker in October 2013, with its headquarters in San Francisco, California.
