+`restart_policy` is available since v1.2.0 and sets the RestartPolicy for how a container should or should not be

+The user may specify the restart policy as a dictionary for example:
+for example:

+    "Name": "always"
+}

+for always restarting the container on exit or can specify to restart the container to restart on failure and can limit
