The doAzureParallel package uses Docker containers for each worker in the cluster. Users can configure doAzureParallel to use any Docker image they want. By default doAzureParallel uses _rocker/tidyverse:latest_, the latest R environment provided by the R Studio community pre-packaged with a large number of popular R packages.

The doAzureParallel package uses the Data Science Virtual Machine (DSVM) for each node in the pool. The DSVM is a customized VM image that has many popular R tools pre-installed. Because these tools are pre-baked into the DSVM VM image, using it gives us considerable speedup when provisioning the pool.
