using, and sharing Linux containers — Linux containers leverage features in the Linux kernel and can be thought of as "OS virtualization" — Combines daemon, client, image format all in single project — Available from https://www.docker.com
is CoreOS' implementation of the App Container specification ("appc") — Designed to be modular/pluggable/extensible, secure, interoperable, natively integrated with init systems and orchestration tools — Still very, very early (0.5.6 is latest release)
VMware — Designed for use not just as host OS, but also as "container OS" — Similar projects/efforts include CoreOS, Project Atomic (RHEL/CentOS), Ubuntu Snappy Core
streamlining the use of VM environments (creation, provisioning, usage, & decommissioning) — Supports multiple virtualization backends — Great for testing, sharing with others, creating consistent environments — Available from http://www.vagrantup.com
