I will introduce how ecologists can use the popular new container software, Docker, to help make their computational work more reproducible, to facilitate collaboration on complex computational analyses, and to seamlessly move their analyses between local and cloud computing to take advantage of scale.  All though applicable to most software, examples will focus on the R and RStudio environment as being most relevant to most ecologists.
