Why not "Docker is an OS level virtualization (or containerization) product"?
This is like saying "Tylenol/Panadol is a painkiller and a fever reducer" without ever mentioning that it is a branded offering of the generic drug Acetaminophen/Paracetamol. We need to start using generic terms for technologies, not product names first. E.g. "Reactive Web Components" could be React, Preact or a number of other libraries/frameworks.

People either reinvent something from 40 years prior, or stack two existing things, name it something completely stupid, never forgetting "blazing fast" at the start, all instead of a humble combination - preferably concatenation - of the simple base concepts it comprises.
