@geofft that is a great link, our CTO Bryan Cantrill continued to beat the drum at the Docker SF meetup in May 6, 2015. Video and transcript at https://www.joyent.com/developers/videos/bryan-cantrill-virtualizing-the-docker-remote-api-with-triton https://www.joyent.com/developers/videos/bryan-cantrill-virt... . My favorite line is, "And, so in terms of the security of containers, from our perspective they have to be secure because if you're able to break out of a container into the global zone of SmartOS, you could delete the company."
Yesterday at http://containersummit.io/ http://containersummit.io/, Bryan's talk "Going Container Native" (video coming soon) was in the same vein, SmartOS (illumos) directly benefits from its Solaris lineage -- Solaris Zones were engineered for security. We, Joyent, absolutely do believe Triton has the security properties that everyone seems to want out of Docker, because Joyent has been running OS containers in multi-tenant production since ~2006.
Open source SmartDataCenter [1], rebranded Triton, is the exact same code that is run in Joyent's Public Cloud. This truth in code, product and service contributed to me leaving an OpenStack company to join Joyent two years ago.
