   100  
   101  The `docker create` command creates a writeable container layer over the
   102  specified image and prepares it for running the specified command.  The
   103  container ID is then printed to `STDOUT`.  This is similar to `docker run -d`
   104  except the container is never started.  You can then use the
   105  `docker start <container_id>` command to start the container at any point.
   106  
   107  This is useful when you want to set up a container configuration ahead of time
   108  so that it is ready to start when you need it. The initial status of the
   109  new container is `created`.
   110  
   111  Please see the [run command](run.md) section and the [Docker run reference](../run.md) for more details.
   112  
   113  ## Examples
   114  
   115      $ docker create -t -i fedora bash
   116      6d8af538ec541dd581ebc2a24153a28329acb5268abe5ef868c1f1a261221752
   117      $ docker start -a -i 6d8af538ec5
   118      bash-4.2#
   119  
   120  As of v1.4.0 container volumes are initialized during the `docker create` phase
   121  (i.e., `docker run` too). For example, this allows you to `create` the `data`
   122  volume container, and then use it from another container:
   123  
   124      $ docker create -v /data --name data ubuntu
   125      240633dfbb98128fa77473d3d9018f6123b99c454b3251427ae190a7d951ad57
   126      $ docker run --rm --volumes-from data ubuntu ls -la /data
   127      total 8
   128      drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Dec  5 04:10 .
   129      drwxr-xr-x 48 root root 4096 Dec  5 04:11 ..
   130  
   131  Similarly, `create` a host directory bind mounted volume container, which can
   132  then be used from the subsequent container:
   133  
   134      $ docker create -v /home/docker:/docker --name docker ubuntu
   135      9aa88c08f319cd1e4515c3c46b0de7cc9aa75e878357b1e96f91e2c773029f03
   136      $ docker run --rm --volumes-from docker ubuntu ls -la /docker
   137      total 20
   138      drwxr-sr-x  5 1000 staff  180 Dec  5 04:00 .
   139      drwxr-xr-x 48 root root  4096 Dec  5 04:13 ..
   140      -rw-rw-r--  1 1000 staff 3833 Dec  5 04:01 .ash_history
   141      -rw-r--r--  1 1000 staff  446 Nov 28 11:51 .ashrc
   142      -rw-r--r--  1 1000 staff   25 Dec  5 04:00 .gitconfig
   143      drwxr-sr-x  3 1000 staff   60 Dec  1 03:28 .local
   144      -rw-r--r--  1 1000 staff  920 Nov 28 11:51 .profile
   145      drwx--S---  2 1000 staff  460 Dec  5 00:51 .ssh
   146      drwxr-xr-x 32 1000 staff 1140 Dec  5 04:01 docker
   147  
   148  ### Specify isolation technology for container (--isolation)
   149  
   150  This option is useful in situations where you are running Docker containers on
   151  Windows. The `--isolation=<value>` option sets a container's isolation
   152  technology. On Linux, the only supported is the `default` option which uses
   153  Linux namespaces. On Microsoft Windows, you can specify these values:
   154  
   155  
   156  | Value     | Description                                                                                                                                                   |
   157  |-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
   158  | `default` | Use the value specified by the Docker daemon's `--exec-opt` . If the `daemon` does not specify an isolation technology, Microsoft Windows uses `process` as its default value.  |
   159  | `process` | Namespace isolation only.                                                                                                                                     |
   160  | `hyperv`   | Hyper-V hypervisor partition-based isolation.                                                                                                                  |
   161  
   162  Specifying the `--isolation` flag without a value is the same as setting `--isolation="default"`.
