Docker provides a comprehensive container platform for building, shipping, and running applications, featuring enterprise-grade images and strong supply-chain security tools like Docker Scout. It extends into AI with Docker Sandboxes that isolate agent sessions via microVMs and Docker AI Governance for centralized policy, audit logging, and governance across the stack. The platform emphasizes open standards and no vendor lock-in, enabling local-first LLM inference and scalable deployment from laptops to teams, with OCI-compliant tooling and a familiar Docker workflow.
