## aufs
aufs (advanced multi layered unification filesystem) is a Linux [filesystem](#filesystem) that
Docker supports as a storage backend. It implements the
[union mount](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_mount) for Linux file systems.
## base image
An image that has no parent is a **base image**.
## boot2docker
[boot2docker](https://boot2docker.io/) is a lightweight Linux distribution made
specifically to run Docker containers. The boot2docker management tool for Mac and Windows was deprecated and replaced by [`docker-machine`](#machine) which you can install with the Docker Toolbox.

## Machine
[Machine](https://github.com/docker/machine) is a Docker tool which
makes it really easy to create Docker hosts on your computer, on
cloud providers and inside your own data center. It creates servers,
installs Docker on them, then configures the Docker client to talk to them.

virtualization.
For Macs running OS X El Capitan 10.11 and newer macOS releases, [Docker for

For Windows 10 systems that support Microsoft Hyper-V (Professional, Enterprise

Union file systems implement a [union mount](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_mount) and operate by creating
layers. Docker uses union file systems in conjunction with
[copy-on-write](#copy-on-write) techniques to provide the building blocks for
containers, making them very lightweight and fast.
