docker run

Run will create a new container and execute commands in the specified image. An image is a packaged up filesystem that you have built or that you pull from a registry such as Docker Hub.

You can either use run to create an interactive session, or run a container in the background and read the output or connect to it later.

To create an interactive container, use docker run --interactive --tty ... or in short form docker run -it ..., for example docker run -it ubuntu will give you an interactive session inside an Ubuntu image. To specify a command other than the default for the image (which is to run bash in the case of Ubuntu), specify the command after the image name, for example docker run ubuntu ls.

TODO net, profile, logger (d2 options) need to align with d2 and clouds
TODO I think --cpus is perhaps the best measure for eg clouds etc, but would need converting to cgroups measures for Linux.
