   Recap: What is Docker?
   An open platform for building, shipping and running
   distributed applications inside containers.
   The platform consists of:
   The Docker Engine: a portable, lightweight runtime and
   packaging tool. It is the CLI that we interact with.
   The Docker Hub: A public/private registry for docker images,
   supporting sharing, and automatic builds.
   If it works on your machine, it will work anywhere.
   ensures repeatability
   removes dependency hell

   Why Panamax?
   Docker might be the next generation of virtual machines,
   but right now they are very hard to adopt.
   Docker Management for Humans
   Eases end users into building containerized apps using
   Docker, by ‘transparently insulating’ them
   Enables saving applications as templates, and sharing
   them using GitHub repositories
   Allows quick prototyping of complex apps
   by linking various services
   One-click deployment of applications from templates to
   remote Kubernetes or CoreOS/Fleet clusters

6. Portability
   Develop locally and deploy remotely to clustered platforms
   Loosely coupled
   Easy composition of micro-services based applications
   Collaboration
   Templates make it easy to share and collaborate
   Management
   Manage applications, services, images from a single UI
   Transparency
   Open-source code encourages contribution and involvement from
   the community
   Why do developers care?

    What are others saying?
    “Panamax allows developers to go from zero to pre-packaged, multi-container
    docker environments in minutes. The web interface and overall user experience
    is impressive.” – Gabriel Monroy, Creator Of Deis
    “Panamax is an exciting improvement on the Docker user experience.”
    – Jonathan Rudenberg, Creator Of Flynn
    “We’re pleased to see Panamax launched! It’s an exciting project
    that shows the strength and diversity of the Docker ecosystem.”
    – James Turnbull, Vice President Of Docker
    “Docker containers are great, but you need more than just one to run your
    application. The Panamax solution brings application templates and a public
    repository to share and collaborate that is elegant and simple to use.”
    – Borja Burgos, Founder Of Tutum

    Containers vs. VMs
    • VMs include a full guest OS with its own memory management, device drivers, etc.,
    while containers just have the app and its dependencies.
    • The containers run as an isolated process on the host OS, and share the kernel with
    other containers.
    • They are more portable and efficient than VMs.
    It’s like sending a zip file of your document and image files
    rather than sending those along with OS on your machine.
