Introduction¶
Linux containers are a form of operating system virtualization. Unlike traditional virtual machines, a single copy of the system kernel runs on the machine and containers share this space, which reduces memory usage.
Docker is a containerization technology that enables the creation and use of Linux containers.
Docker images are archives containing a set of instructions for creating a Docker container.
With CyberElements, it is possible to use Edge Gateways in Docker format.
Docker images can be downloaded from the Systancia Marketplace (requires creation of a customer account): Systancia Marketplace
Warning!
Unlike the Debian Edge Gateway, the Docker Edge Gateway will not allow the use of standard VPN-type applications.
