Mentions- See DevOps
- CoreOS is somehow suited to a DevOps world vision; CoreOS uses Docker; of which Chef & Puppet are exemplars, or something like that.

dotCloud
Concept
- Product: Docker
- Linux Container Engine (LCE)
- not a virtual machine solution
- Requires special kernel versions (to run the container)
- Docker and Red Hat have had incompatible versions of the Linux kernel (hence the collaboration announcement)
Future
Support roadmap (all future tense)
- (Docker will be supported on …)
- Fedora => soon
- OpenShift => subsequently
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) => eventually.
- Introduction of libvirt for container interface management
- Remove Docker’s dependency on AuFS
- Something vague about a “new approach to provisioning” based on device mapper.
- Harmonize Docker and OpenShift Gears
- Docker with OpenShift’s cartridge model for application orchestration.
