Since this has turn into a generic "What's up with containers" post:

What is wrong with LXC/LXD/Juju by Ubuntu?

I haven't used that latter two (I haven't taken the time to learn them) but LXC is a breeze. Set up a bridge on a host, and start creating containers! Isolated, with resource management capabilities available. LXD is the orchestration at scale component.

It's Linux specific, and it's more of a lightweight VM than a one-click-app like Docker images seem to be. Maybe that's the difference.

LXC is great, I agree. Some of Docker's big win is from its composability of images. If appc/rkt can do this (do they already?), I think they will capture a lot of Docker's momentum.
