Why Docker is simplifying agentic application development

Docker's role in agentic development is analogous to how it made microservices accessible by simplifying complex environments.

Defining agentic applications and their core properties

An agent is an autonomous system where the LLM drives the control loop, connects to your data, and operates based on goals rather than tasks.

#3about 3 minutes

The future of multi-LLM and compound agents

Future agents will be multi-LLM and compound, requiring solutions for model portability, tool discovery via MCP, and a trusted hub for components.

Introducing Docker's new tools for building agents

Docker provides key building blocks for agents, including the Docker Model Runner for local models and the MCP Gateway for secure tool integration.

#5about 2 minutes

Extending Docker Compose with native agent support

Docker Compose now natively supports agent development with top-level keywords for models and tools, simplifying the entire agent stack definition.

Accelerating local development with Docker Offload

Docker Offload allows developers to seamlessly switch their local Docker context to a remote, powerful GPU in the cloud to accelerate model-heavy workloads.

#8about 13 minutes

Deploying agentic applications with serverless compose on GCP

A partnership with Google Cloud enables deploying the same Docker Compose file directly to GCP Cloud Run for serverless, scalable production environments.
