    Your Exercise facilitator should have provided you with the information on your access.

Exercise 1 and 4

Docker must be running on your local machine while acting as the Managed Gateway instance.
There are different ways to install the Docker engine depending of the package and the OS.
One multi platform option is Rancher Desktop. It is fairly easy to install Rancher Desktop,
as you just have to follow this guide: Running Docker locally

Tip

Podman and Docker Desktop should also work, but I have not tested it.
