> Docker is a Linux container which is fast to deploy and incurs small  overhead. A Docker container functions like a light-weight virtual machine and runs in its own isolated environment. There are at least two benefits in building adding Docker support for SINGA:
> # Out of the box deployment of SINGA: the image, once built, contains the complete environment necessary to start SINGA.
> # Light-weight development and testing environment for distributed features. The image can be used to set up a test-bed consisting of many  independent nodes (each node has its own IP address), without the need for cluster hardware.
> We add to Github a {{Dockerfile}} specifying how to build SINGA image, from which the user can construct the image by executing:
> {code}
> sudo docker build -t singa/base .
> {code}
> The user can choose another name beside {{singa/base}} . The build process can take a long time, but it needs to be done only at one host and the result image can then be copied to other hosts. 
> We also add another {{Dockerfile}} which adds Mesos and Hadoop ontop of SINGA. This is closely related to [SINGA-11|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SINGA-11]. The image created from this Dockerfile is used to set up the distributed test bed. 
> See the {{README.md}} for more details of the images and how to use them. 
> h5. Important
> We assume that every host has Docker running.
