Docker for Mac − It allows one to run Docker containers on the Mac OS.
Docker for Linux − It allows one to run Docker containers on the Linux OS.

Docker Engine − It is used for building Docker images and creating Docker containers.
Docker Hub − This is the registry which is used to host various Docker images.
Docker Compose − This is used to define applications using multiple Docker containers.

Docker Hub is a registry service on the cloud that allows you to download Docker images that are built by other communities. You can also upload your own Docker built images to Docker hub. In this chapter, we will see how to download and the use the Jenkins Docker image from Docker hub.
