>Hypervisor agnostic >Requires: Docker 1.5 or later QEMU 2.0 or later Xen 4.5 and VT enabled host (for Xen support) So... not hypervisor agnostic. edit: I realize it may not be the most popular among the hackernews crowd, but VMware is by far, not even remotely close, the most widely deployed hypervisor in the mid to large enterprise market segment. The graph looks similar to Windows on the desktop numbers. To claim hypervisor agnostic without VMware support is like claiming your desktop app is OS agnostic but doesn't support Windows.

Why not?

  No (explicit) VMware, Hyper-V, or bhyve support.

    Well, Docker still doesn't support all linux distros, so it doesn't run anywhere.

Depending on how you count AWS, I'd say Xen is much larger than VMware. https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/maintenance-2015-03/ https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/maintenance-2015-03/

  AWS is a service provider. I specifically said mid to large enterprise segment. Since IDC tends not to give their reports away the only thing "public" I can find in a quick search: http://www.bobsguide.com/guide/news/2014/Apr/4/server-virtualization-continues-to-grow-in-emea-but-mega-datacenters-are-changing-the-game.html http://www.bobsguide.com/guide/news/2014/Apr/4/server-virtua... As for my anecdote: out of the 20 fortune 500 companies I work with, the Xen/KVM market share is literally under 1%. Not a single deployed instance beyond a couple corner cases of Citrix for small VDI workloads. There are a few looking at openstack, but they're still science experiments at this point, and not their production enterprise deployments.
