AWS Considerations

After installing docker on Ubuntu, use AUFS storage driver

If you are operating an Ubuntu system under AWS, check if docker is using the devicemapper driver. Run the "docker info" command and look at the storage driver section. If it says "devicemapper", stop docker, install linux-image-extra, and reinstall docker to use AUFS as a storage driver.

sudo stop docker
sudo apt-get remove lxc-docker
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-`uname -r`
sudo apt-get install lxc-docker
