Docker?
-
Pricing ist for hosting containers in their Datacenter or for using their Cloud. The technology itself is free to use as far as I know. You can do the hosting yourself

Anyone used it so far? Is it good?

Here's a use case for you. Google released an English language parser based on their tensorflow machine learning platform. I could download all the code from their git repository, set up a VM with all the right Java bits, and go through a 3 hour compilation process, and maybe get everything built successfully... ...or, I can download their Docker image and run that image in a Docker container on my machine in a fraction of the time and get to playing with the English parser which is what I was really interested in. I'm not a Docker expert, but I've been dabbling in it and I see potential. As others have mentioned, it really depends on your use case (insert quote about everything looking like a nail when you're holding a hammer). In my opinion, it is a slightly different take on virtualization. It seems more lightweight than other virtualization platforms (I have used VMware in the past, tend to use VirtualBox these days), but part of that is because it appears aimed at temporary resources. Hope this info helps! Cheers, Carl
OK. Thats a cool use case.

Hm, I wonder if this would work for running a Windows game on Linux. You don't port the game, you just pop it into an appropriately provisioned Docker container and it's now 'Linux' compatible.
No, Docker runs on linux hosts, and merely segregates the running container from the underlying OS. There is no "translation" of Windows-specific functionality to linux equivalents.
