Not really. It is a research project, and predates Docker.

  LXC containers predate Docker, too. In any case, it doesn't really matter whether it's an actual response, or not.

    Docker is not anything, Docker is a wrapper for cgroups and namespaces - also utilized by LXC. Infact, Docker started as a wrapper around LXC. It literally configured and shelled out to lxc-start in order to orchestrate containers. This however, is much much different to cgroups/namespaces. What the Drawbridge paper describes is a full user-mode kernel . If you want the analagous implementation on Linux look at User Mode Linux, or the Graphene stuff that has already been linked to.

      Or look at the netbsd rump kernel (http://rumpkernel.org http://rumpkernel.org) which also runs under Linux or standalone.

        Thanks for this comment. I had some time to read through this pdf (http://lib.tkk.fi/Diss/2012/isbn9789526049175/isbn9789526049175.pdf http://lib.tkk.fi/Diss/2012/isbn9789526049175/isbn9789526049...) and I have a much better understanding of the differences between a user-space kernel and containers now.
