Play With Docker gives you the experience of having a free Alpine Linux Virtual Machine in the cloud where you can build and run Docker containers and even create clusters with Docker features like Swarm Mode.
Under the hood DIND or Docker-in-Docker is used to give the effect of multiple VMs/PCs.
A live version is available at: http://play-with-docker.com/
Docker 1.12.1 or higher is required.
Start the Docker daemon on your machine and run docker pull docker:1.12.2-rc2-dind

Notes:
