It's LXC. LXC has been around since 2008 (before Docker existed, since Docker builds atop it). And LXC isn't tied to a for-profit company, so RHEL would be more likely to include it.
- shykes 12y agoActually it's Docker :)
- Alupis 12y agoWas my thoughts exactly. Seems odd to put Docker into a RHEL release, especially since docker only 1.0'ed yesterday. RHEL usually goes for rock solid stable (typically older/matured) packages... LXC seems the natural fit... I could see Docker in RHEL 8 or something...
- nickstinemates 12y agoWe have been working with redhat for months. They're amazingly active maintainers of Docker.
- cwyers 12y agoRHEL can go years without seeing a major version increase. In between now and then, a lot of people are going to want to use containers, including Docker. If RHEL doesn't support them, people are going to use Debian/Ubuntu/CoreOS/etc. instead. So Red Hat is supporting them. They know Ubuntu has a head start on them in the cloud, and they do not want to let them widen that gap.
- sciurus 12y agoDocker was added to RHEL 6. Red Hat can move faster than you think. :-) http://developerblog.redhat.com/2013/11/26/rhel6-5-ga/ http://developerblog.redhat.com/2013/11/26/rhel6-5-ga/
- JohnTHaller 12y agoWow. I stand even more corrected. Additionally, it's pretty cool that they pushed it into RHEL 6 given the slow upgrade paths of folks that use RHEL.

- JohnTHaller 12y agoI stand corrected. I read three different release notes on it and all of them mentioned LXC without mentioning Docker.
