> Docker (https://www.docker.com/) provides a very powerful set of tools around extremely lightweight container environments. This is extremely useful in situations where builds need to be performed in presence of certain system-level build dependencies and on different flavors of Linux.
> With Docker, one can simply execute the following command as an entry point into a build script:
> {noformat}
> docker run -v `pwd`:/ws $DOCKER_IMAGE bash -c 'cd /ws ; make foo'
> {noformat}
> and not require pollution of Jenkins slaves with system dependencies and installation of new slaves. E.g. DOCKER_IMAGE=fedora would give you the latest fedora build environment.
> It would be extremely useful to provide Docker service on ASF build slaves. Please let me know how can I help.
