Confused about VirtualBox machince vs ssh vs Docker

[#1]

Above is a local terminal where I have ssh'd into the VM???

Below is the VirtualBox VM????

There are not the same machine and where does Docker fit into all of this?

Thanks for any clarification

Hi @John Cleveland

Both the popular HDP and HDF Sandboxes are delivered as Dockerized containers. You are correct that there is a Docker container, as well as a Host machine that are different but ship within the same VM appliance. The following link from the docs might help provide additional clarity as well:
