Docker is free and open-source software. It automates the deployment of any application as a lightweight, portable, self-sufficient container that will run virtually anywhere. You can build a container with your app, and it can test run on your computer. It will scale in cloud, VM, VPS, bare-metal and more. There are two versions of docker. The first one bundled with RHEL/CentOS 7 distro and can be installed with the yum. The second version distributed by the Docker project called docker-ce (community free version) and can be installed by the official Docker project repo. The third version distributed by the Docker project called docker-ee (Enterprise paid version) and can be installed by the official Docker project repo.
