ZeroVM is very interesting, but my intuition would be to put the Docker container inside the ZeroVM, instead of the ZeroVM inside the Docker container. Is my intuition weird? Perhaps I misunderstand ZeroVM. My train of thought would be that you'd put the strongest isolation on the outside.

You can't do that. Zerovm does not give you access to the system calls to create containers.

  Docker is evolving towards a generic "container engine" with swappable execution backends. In that architecture, lxc becomes one possible backend. ZeroVM, OpenVZ, kvm/qemu or plain chroot could be used as backends under the same management API.

    Interesting, but at that point doesn't Docker just become libvirt almost?

    In the case of ZeroVM it's hardly going to be a transparent change. You'll have to recompile all your code for one thing, and for another ZeroVM doesn't (currently) supply anything like the APIs a "normal" VM does.
