I recently downloaded a Quick Start image for a Hadoop distribution from a vendor. However, after downloading, I realized that the link that said VMWare image, was actually a Docker image. I was disappointed at first, but I was thinking... "oh well, I wanted to build up my knowledge on containers and Docker anyways...." So I started reading the documentation on the Docker site and it said that I would need to install the Docker Toolkit, which also installs Oracle VM VirtualBox.
I've since found the VMWare image of the Hadoop distribution and I'm in the process of downloading it, but I'm wondering... is there a way of running Docker containers with VMWare Workstation? I could swear that I read somewhere that VMWare was working with Docker, but I don't know the details.
