Virtuozzo / OpenVZ brought container technology to hosting providers and according to Odin has now had over 1 million containers deployed. We use them for our company and wouldn't be able to achieve the reliability nor the performance without them.

We're also excited about Docker, because it brings a whole new set of tools to help complete the whole picture. The container system is just one small part of Docker, it's the whole toolset and platform which is why it's so popular. The best thing is, Docker will run in nested containers with Virtuozzo / OpenVZ, so you can take direct advantage of both technologies.

There will always be a new shiny toy out there to play with and to go with that complete picture.

Google probably have other shiny toys that complement those containers that they haven't talked about yet. They had borg for a long time and even now we're barely getting some of those, Mesos & Kubernates.
