		hosh on July 8, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: What is the actual purpose of Docker? Thanks for sharing. I remember the pictures of intermodal containers for explaining this. Sadly, I also see writeups that focus too much on the virtualization aspect. The journalists are searching for something to compare it to, so Docker gets compared to other virtualization and resource isolation tools. Growing pains, I suppose?

The media often looks for conflict; the easiest target is Docker vs. VMWare. But as you correctly point out, we don't really see it that way.
