The thirteen links in the table below demonstrate the versatility of Docker containers. Each link represents a unique Tomcat/JDK pair.

All thirteen containers are running on the same Amazon EC2 instance. All of the containers are launched from Docker images created by programatically interacting with the REST api available at http://localhost:2375 when Docker is installed

The intent is to use Docker containers as the basic building block for bringing continuity to all of the environments in the application development life cycle:

developer workstations -> ci -> deploy environment -> testing/qa -> staging -> production (institutions, commercial, etc)
