Is this a way to run docker/container in a GCE/VM, or does the docker/container run on top of the base OS, so that your application can run at bare metal speed, without the overhead of of a VM.

This runs in a VM. We're not selling bare-metal (and even if we wanted to, Docker doesn't really have a co-tenancy model yet, so you'd have to buy full machines...)
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't familiar with docker, and thought that it was similar to zones in solaris/smartos. and this offer from GCP was similar to the SmartMachine offer from Joyent.
