Docker Context

A single Docker CLI can have multiple contexts. Each context contains all of the endpoint and security information required to manage a different cloud environment, Swarm nodes, or Kubernetes nodes. The docker context command makes it easy to configure these contexts and switch between them.

List all docker contexts

docker context ls

Create a docker context

docker context create [context-type] [context-name]

*** context type such as aci, ecs, or leave blank for context-type for Swarm or Kubernetes nodes

Use a docker context

docker context use [context-name]

Remove a docker context

docker context rm [context-name]
