Introduction to Docker for Robotics and Machine Learning
It would be nice to give a computer - any computer with an internet connection - a short string of ASCII characters (say via a keyboard), press enter, and return to see some program running. Forget about where the program was built or what software you happened to be running at the time (this can be checked, and we can fetch the necessary dependencies). Sounds simple, right? In fact, this is an engineering task that has taken thousands of the world’s brightest developers many decades to implement. Thanks to the magic of container technology we now can run any Linux program on almost any networked device on the planet, as is. All of the environment preparation, installation and configuration steps can be automated from start to finish. Depending on how much network bandwidth you have, it might take a while, but that’s all right. All you need to do is type the string correctly.
