One thing that isn't mentioned on front page at least is the management aspect.

Docker became popular because it was pretty easy to use, and to publish and reuse existing containers. Whatever competes with it only stands a chance if it can either reuse the existing container ecosystem, or offer something roughly as good.

Sat through the talk at kubecon yesterday - an important goal of theirs is to not compete with the docker. They said it was compatible with docker, containerd, and cri-o. I believe with docker, it sits at the runc level, so to the end user, you're using docker in the standard fashion, but the underlying isolation mechanism is different. They also said it can be chosen per container so different containers on the same host can use different isolation mechanisms

That makes a lot of sense, and probably the road that makes adoption easiest. Thanks!

It doesn’t have to replace Docker – just becoming a better container engine as backend for Kubernetes will be very useful.

If it's using Hyper runV, my guess is that their intent is to be compatible with OCI and Docker.
