well I done docker....like all the rest of them.....but if one has the perspective of actually having to try to put the rest of the pack INTO an OS......then one can possibly appreciate this:

"It was at the right place at the right time for a trend much bigger than Docker — how apps are built," Hykes said.

Hykes noted that developers today need to create apps that run like the Internet — that is to say the app has to be decoupled from the underlying machine. The application also has to be "everywhere and nowhere" at the same time.

"Developers need a way to build distributed apps and that's the problem we're trying to solve," Hykes said.

Docker is a toolkit to build distributed applications, and it enables developers to build stuff on their own terms. Hykes said that Docker gives developers simple loosely-coupled tools.
