80 
+		Docker is an open-source engine which automates the deployment of applications as highly portable, self-sufficient containers.

84 
+		Docker containers are both <string>hardware-agnostic</strong> and <strong>platform-agnostic</strong>. This means that they can run anywhere, from your
85 
+		laptop to the largest EC2 compute instance and everything in between - and they don't require that you use a particular
86 
+		language, framework or packaging system. That makes them great building blocks for deploying and scaling web apps, databases
87 
+		and backend services without depending on a particular stack or provider.

91 
+		Docker is an open-source implementation of the deployment engine which powers <a href="http://dotcloud.com">dotCloud</a>, a popular Platform-as-a-Service.
92 
+		It benefits directly from the experience accumulated over several years of large-scale operation and support of hundreds of thousands
93 
+		of applications and databases.
