In this chapter, we set up and configured our personal or working environment so that we can productively work with Docker containers. This equally applies for developers, DevOps, and operations engineers. In that context, we make sure that we use a good editor, have Docker for macOS or Docker for Windows installed, and can use docker-machine to create VMs in VirtualBox or Hyper-V, which we can then use to run and test containers.
In the next chapter, we're going to learn all of the important facts about containers. For example, we will explore how we can run, stop, list, and delete containers, but more than that, we will also dive deep into the anatomy of containers.
