     9  # Docker Provider
    10  
    11  The Docker provider is used to interact with Docker containers and images.
    12  It uses the Docker API to manage the lifecycle of Docker containers. Because
    13  the Docker provider uses the Docker API, it is immediately compatible not
    14  only with single server Docker but Swarm and any additional Docker-compatible
    15  API hosts.

    21  It is ready to be used but many features are still being added. If there
    22  is a Docker feature missing, please report it in the GitHub repo.
