Docker Engine preinstalled for AWS. Docker CE with the Compose and Buildx plugins on Ubuntu 24.04, ready to run containers on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Docker Engine by cloudimg
Docker Engine is the open source container runtime that builds, ships and runs applications in lightweight isolated containers. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Docker fully installed and configured, so a container host is running within minutes of launch. Packages are installed from the official Docker software repository.
## Container Stack
The image includes the Docker Engine, the Docker command line client, the containerd runtime, the Buildx build extension and the Compose plugin. The Docker service and containerd start on boot, and container data is stored on a dedicated resizable volume.
## Ready On First Boot
On the first boot of every instance the login user is added to the docker group, so containers can be managed straight away. Run a container, define a Compose project, or build an image from the moment the instance is reachable.
## Lean And Predictable
This is a headless image with no web interface. It is a clean container host, so the platform stays lean and the full resources of the instance are available to your workloads.
## cloudimg Support
cloudimg provides 24/7 technical support for this image, covering Docker deployment, container and Compose configuration, storage management, networking and upgrades.
