If you've been searching for how to actually use Docker with AI not just spin up a demo but run models, agents and MCP servers in production here's what We have learned over the years and put into our new book.
If you typed "Docker with AI" into Google and landed here, you're in good company. That's the search I've watched explode over the last 18 months and it's also the question I get asked the most at meetups, on LinkedIn DMs.
People aren't asking "what is AI" anymore. They're asking something a lot more uncomfortable :
"I have a model, I have a notebook, I have a demo that worked once on my MacBook. Now what ?"
This post is for that person. I want to share how I think about Docker with AI today what the stack actually looks like in 2026, where most teams get stuck and the structured path @ajeetraina and I wrote down in our new book, Operational AI with Docker (links at the end).
