Created by Former user, last modified by S. Ali Tokmen on Jun 08, 2022

### Definition

A container that is already running on some machine (local or remote)

### Explanation

A remote container represents a container that is already running on some machine (local or remote). It is not under the control of Cargo and cannot be started/stopped by Cargo. The only thing Cargo can do with a remote container is deploy to it using a Remote Deployer. A remote container is always associated with a Runtime Configuration.
