Right I believe that GCE is docker but it runs in a KVM container, I'm not sure why they do that however. Maybe someone else can explain? My guess would be that its a hedge on container security.

However what they hand you is a docker container I believe so provided there's docker target for whatever rump kernel it should theoretically just work. No?

It sounds like you work on GCE?

GCE is just plain old VMs, no Docker involved.

There's also GKE which is managed Kubernetes complete with Docker containers.

(And yes, I work on the virtual machine monitor backing GCE)
