## What it is
Tutor is the official Docker-based distribution of Open edX, providing a CLI for one-click installation, configuration, customization, upgrading, and scaling of Open edX platforms. It supports both local development and production deployments via docker-compose or Kubernetes, and is extensible through a plugin system.

## Use cases
- deploy an Open edX LMS with Docker
- self-host an online learning platform
- upgrade an Open edX installation easily
- run Open edX on Kubernetes
- customize and theme an Open edX platform
- launch a production-ready e-learning site without a devops team

## When to choose
- you want to deploy, upgrade, or scale Open edX without hand-rolling native installation scripts
- you need a production-ready Open edX platform with HTTPS, theming, and mobile app support out of the box
- you want to run Open edX locally for development or testing
- you prefer owning your servers and data over per-seat hosted pricing

## When to avoid
- you need a hosted, fully managed LMS with vendor support and no server maintenance
- you are not deploying Open edX specifically - Tutor is not a general-purpose deployment tool
- you require a non-Docker or bare-metal installation method

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: deployment, container-runtime, container-orchestration, cli, configuration-management, plugin-system
