Docker is a commercial implementation of a container, a way to package up a snapshot of everything needed to run some particular version of software (OS, libraries, compilers, etc.). It is a very effective way of interfacing with the CMS open data as it gives you the proper environment you need to analyze these data.

To learn more about Docker in general, from a HEP perspective, you may want to check out this Introduction to Docker, from Matthew Feickert.
