About Docker
Docker is a platform for packaging applications into containers and running them the same way on any machine. It also offers isolated sandboxes for running AI agents safely.
What it does
Docker lets developers build container images from their code and run them on a laptop or a server. Each container bundles an app with the libraries it needs, so it behaves the same across development, testing and production. Docker Sandboxes run agent sessions inside small virtual machines, with network and file access restricted by default.
Key features
- Build and run container images
- MicroVM isolation for agent sessions
- One console for sandbox policy
- Signed, regularly patched base images
- Audit logs tied to identity
Who it's for
Developers who want consistent environments, platform teams that run shared infrastructure, and security teams that need control over what automated agents can reach.
Pricing and good to know
The site lists a free option at $0 and paid options from $9 to $24, so you can try the basics before paying. Docker runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Compare the plan details on the pricing page before choosing one, since limits differ between tiers.
Highlights
- Package apps and dependencies into container images
- Run containers locally or on remote servers
- Isolate AI agent sessions in microVMs
- Set and review policy for sandboxes from one console
- Use hardened base images with signed builds
