Sorry if anything was unclear -- while OS-based virtualization is very core to SDC, there's nothing specific to Docker at the moment. That said, that's definitely trying to make SDC a good fit for production Docker deployments -- and if you want a sneak peek as to some of the technological underpinnings, see our work on LX branded zones in SmartOS.[1] Expect a lot more there in the coming weeks and months; all of our work there has been (and will be!) done in the open.

Cool. Are there any links to the project source for the LX branded zones work?

Yes, sorry -- it's all open, and lives in SmartOS, which doesn't necessarily have the most intuitive repo name:

http://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent

If you look at the commit log, you'll see this is a very active area of development. Also, you can find us in #smartos on Freenode if you have specific questions.
