I have mostly been an LXC guy running Vanilla LXC with BTRFS,and was wondering what would be the advantages & disadvantages of replacing this with Docker (I know Docker has features like Versioning,Sharing containers e.t.c) ?

Is it a matter of ease of deployment of apps Vs Performance ? How does BTRFS compare with Dockers AUFS ? I'd be glad if anyone has something to share regarding filesystem/IO performance or benchmarks.

Thanks.

Here is a nice explanation what Docker adds to plain LXC, or what it added, before LXC was replaced by libcontainer:

What does Docker add to just plain LXC?

  • I went through that post,but didn't see much information on IO performance.May be i should run my own tests in a Vanilla LXC container with BTRFS backend Vs a Docker with AUFS backend. – hmmm Sep 23 '14 at 09:08
