Hi there,

Thanks for your interest in Hyper!

We also noticed the release announcement of Clear Containers a few days ago. There are 2 main differences, the first being on the technology used, CC using RKT, while Hyper is based on Docker images. There is also a difference in term of philosophy, where Hyper aims to be a technology-neutral open source solution.

Hyper also have more features, such as running a Pod rather than one image on a hypervisor as a schedule unit.

For more details, please check our FAQ (https://hyper.sh/faq.html)

I don't feel this is correct. rkt can run docker images[1] and once the clear containers patches[2] land you will be able to run a docker image or an appc image inside of a VM under rkt.

I think the question was specifically in the context of CC.
