How to talk directly to the underlying Docker API?

Switch Docker context to tcc

It is currently possible to talk directly to the underlying Docker API using the Docker context:

docker context use tcc
docker ps

If you want to see information about CPU/memory usage for TCC sessions you can then use

docker stats

Or 

DOCKER_CONTEXT=tcc docker stats

However, note that Testcontainers Cloud is not a generic “Docker-as-a-Service” and this should be considered an implementation detail.
