A comment on CoreOS is building a container runtime, Rocket. Parent comment

Docker and CoreOS are in a pre-monetization land grab for a single market.

They've so far been approaching it from opposing corners, but CoreOS just made the first play at the opponent's territory, and it apparently rattled Docker a bit.

I am excited to have more viewpoints in play.

Yes and Pivotal (CloudFoundry) has posted a fairly supportive blog entry on Rocket. So it's not just CoreOS "making a play".

Yeah, I'm not saying it's just a cheap shot; Rocket does a good job of addressing some real issues with Docker.

I'm optimistic that the ecosystem as a whole will benefit a lot from this, no matter how much or how little market share Rocket manages to capture.

Cloud Foundry also quietly forked Docker with Warden/Diego (edit: I meant Garden, thanks kapilvt), although in that case they remained compatible with Docker images.

clearing up some facts.. warden predates docker, its a container impl. diego is something entirely different more like kubernetes or mesosphere (scheduling & health, etc). garden the go implementation of warden containers does add fs compatibility for docker.

Your edit is incomplete. Warden predates Docker and is an independent container system. Diego is a new controller/staging/allocating/health system for part of Cloud Foundry, which is a complete PaaS, of which Warden is a low-level component.
