What do they call a computer, is it a server, plan, droplet, size, node, horse, beast, or a daemon from the underworld? This is rather annoying, as one has to learn all the cute names that the particular vendor has invented. The other drivers are non-existent, $aky or limited, so one has to use vendor-speci!c tools. You can use Digital Ocean, AWS and Azure directly from within docker-machine. I think every cloud operator should contribute their driver to docker-machine, and I don’t understand why so few do. Sadly, this is only possible with a select few providers. In an ideal world, I would sign up on a web site, get an API key, put that into docker-machine and use docker-machine for everything else. Signing up and trying to run the various virtual machines o#ered by cloud operators was very telling.

Setting up and differences between cloud providers Also, those are the ones that at least promise fast CPUs (for example, Google famously doesn’t much care about individual CPU speed, so I didn’t try their servers). Why those? Well, those are the ones I could quickly find and sign up for without too much hassle.
