Docker has always been a focus for third-party developers, with many projects extending, supplementing or enhancing Docker, from logging tools to database tools. So, in this article, we’ll introduce some useful and open source third-party tools to make your container development more powerful. The following is in no particular order.

1.Kubernetes

When it comes to third-party Docker projects, Kubernetes comes up. Kubernetes is an open source container cluster management system from Google Cloud Platform. Build a container scheduling service based on Docker. The system can automatically select a working container from a container cluster for use. The core concept is the Container Pod.
