## Why don't we run Docker locally?
- We are going to download container images and distribution packages.
- This could put a bit of stress on the local WiFi and slow us down.
- Instead, we use a remote VM that has a good connectivity
- In some rare cases, installing Docker locally is challenging:
- no administrator/root access (computer managed by strict corp IT)
- 32-bit CPU or OS
- old OS version (e.g. CentOS 6, OSX pre-Yosemite, Windows 7)
- It's better to spend time learning containers than fiddling with the installer!
