Open source container tools
Conclusion
Docker plays an important role in the open source container ecosystem. Many core Docker components are open source, and initiatives such as the DSOS program help independent software developers make their projects available to the community. Docker developer tools also support projects such as Moby, CNCF, and OCI that encourage a free, standards-based approach to container development.
