The problem here is you are familiar with Docker but not LXC which has suffered serious misinformation from the Docker ecosystem.
A little bit of research will show it's far simpler to use and manage than Docker [1], and because it offers a standard OS environment with support for standard networking, daemons, logging, no enforced use of layers or ephemeral storage it doesn't need an app to hang around and manage its networking and other subsystems.
It offers seamless migration of workloads from VMs, is compatible with the ecosystem of apps and orchestration systems without the need for any special daemon handling, network or storage management that comes from a custom environment, thus simplifying container use and management.

- orf 8y agoAwesome! With it's 5+ year head start no doubt it's managed to capture developer mindshare like few other technologies have before it, revolutionizing development and deployment! Wait, what's that? It doesn't work on Mac or Windows? It didn't have a even half-decent website until 2015? It doesn't have anything like a dockerfile that you can version control? Or anything to compose services together from a simple yaml file? Damn. I guess it turns out people don't really care about the technical purity of a solution, they care about something that solves their issues. Better luck next time.
