"The greatest contribution need for Docker" I believe less is more. Docker has grown into an all consuming piece of complexity. The best code is code you never

  Amen!

  Docker has taken the direction of a loose collection of tools tied together by an integrated interface. So you have the choice of using the platform as a whole, or standing up your choice of individual components on their own, without any dependency on Docker. Based on your comment, you're probably not the target audience for the platform. I recommend checking out some of the components to see if they meet your criteria of simplicity. A few examples: https://runc.io https://runc.io https://containerd.tools https://containerd.tools https://github.com/docker/swarmkit https://github.com/docker/swarmkit https://github.com/docker/notary https://github.com/docker/notary https://github.com/docker/infrakit https://github.com/docker/infrakit https://github.com/docker/hyperkit https://github.com/docker/hyperkit We are continuing the work of carving out more and more usable components from the platform.

    One tricky issue with Docker is its overlap with systemd. Both can be responsible for running services. It is unclear how to integrate them well.

  In fairness, her answer to "greatest need" was documentation. That can grow too large as well, but right now the consensus seems to be that Docker is struggling with features outrunning accurate documentation - so where things aren't pared back, more records would be good.
