Sun containers (and AIX, etc) were all very much treated as virtual machines. Docker containers virtualize applications, not OS. That's the key shift.

I'd argue that the key shift (in terms of e.g. configuration management) was from pet to cattle VMs. Application containers are mostly "cattle containers".
