Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install docker.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2.

What is `docker.x86_64`

Docker is an open-source engine that automates the deployment of any application as a lightweight, portable, self-sufficient container that will run virtually anywhere. Docker containers can encapsulate any payload, and will run consistently on and between virtually any server. The same container that a developer builds and tests on a laptop will run at scale, in production*, on VMs, bare-metal servers, OpenStack clusters, public instances, or combinations of the above.

We can use yum to install docker.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install docker.x86_64.
