I'm not really sure what makes liblxc the "real deal" and "libcontainer" not? Would you care to expand on this though? The true flexibility you are alluding to is, I believe, provided by the kernel itself? Are you deriding libraries that abstract interfacing with these features? Where is the platform lock-in coming from? Docker has been making inroads into many non-linux platforms, even Windows recently. > and then docker (or whatever the other hip thing of the month is) Are you suggesting Docker is a "flavour of the month"? That's... A unique perspective. In any case, as a counter point, I'd like to offer up that RedHat itself has partnered with docker via OpenShift. If one were looking for linux flavour of the month, I RedHat would be the LAST place they would look.
