    (b) Reconfigure limits;
    (c) Start Docker Service
    (d) Add your root user (e.g. 'ec2-user') to the docker group.
    (e) Exit

    From the command prompt execute the following:

    sudo yum install -y docker
sudo sed -i 's/1024:4096/1024000:1024000/g' /etc/sysconfig/docker
sudo cat /etc/sysconfig/docker
sudo service docker start
sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user
exit
