Triton: Docker and the “best of all worlds”

Docker swarm basically lets you say "I want to deploy this image somewhere, you choose from the available actual machines" based on constraints that you've set up. You also had to actually set up the machines themselves (though docker-machine is intended to take some of the pain out of this).

sdc-docker (the tech behind this, Triton) basically lets you just keep deploying containers without any regard for the actual underlying machines (or EC2 instances, DO droplets, Linodes) that you are actually deploying to. It's like docker-machine + docker-swarm but all automatic and managed by guys on the other side of the curtain, so you can just write the checks and keep the Docker goodness flowing.

Not sure I get this - Is this any different from mesos/kubernetes? If I am running this software and deploying my own datacenter someone stills need to provision the machines.

Actually, because the container runs on bare metal, there's no need to provision virtual machines before running containers.

Yes, the data center operator needs to install the hardware compute nodes, but after that there's no additional step to provision anything else but the containers themselves.

I'm still fuzzy on this also, but it sounded like it would fill a very similar role as kubernetes except that they are claiming superior performance.

You've got it. This is a complete stack (sdc + lx-brand, sdc-docker, vxlan/portolan) fully benefiting from Illumos's architected OS virtualization.
