Question

How does Docker compare to similar solutions?

Answer 1

Docker is similar to the following technologies:-

• Solaris containers (It was there way before docker was even an idea).

• Contained.

• CoreOS rtk (rocket).

• Apache Mesos.

• LXC Containers.

What Docker is not like are as follows:-

• VMware VM’s

• KVM VM’s

• Openstack instances

• VirtualBox

What docker features are sort of like those that are shared among other tools:-

• Packaged application management

• orchestration

• Network Overlays (not to be confused with virtual networks)

• storage overlays (not to be confused with storage virtualization)

If you wish to learn docker and have a career in it then you must take up the following Docker Training Course. I am also mentioning a video tutorial for you which you must watch to learn all the basic concepts of Docker.
