Running a Docker image on a VM

Docker is an open-source platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. Docker allows you to separate your app from its dependencies in a container, which you can use to run the application in any compatible environment.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to run a Docker image on a Yandex Compute Cloud VM using a Yandex Container Registry registry.

You can run a Docker image on a VM using these tools:

  • Management console, CLI, and API: Use the Yandex Cloud management console, CLI, or API to create your infrastructure step-by-step.
  • Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources using the infrastructure as code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example and then deploy the infrastructure using the Yandex Cloud Terraform provider.
