I also thought that another difference was that vagrant can also manage cpu-level (hypervisor?) VMs (as opposed to just linux containers) - one of the main use cases for vagrant would be running it on your local computer- a laptop running osx or windows for example. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you wouldn't be able to run docker on a windows laptop, b/c you're just containerizing the parent os.... I would be curious to see how this could run on osx.

I've ran Docker on top of Linux, powered by a Vagrant VM just fine. It's exactly what their tutorial walks you through: http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/vagrant/ http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/vagrant/ I don't think OSX or Windows will run linux containers ever though. Maybe something conceptually similar, but I doubt it would be "Docker".
