I use VMWare/VMPlayer when I need to test my development under different environments.

I believe Docker, or its original incarnation, was initially created to develop applications that would run within their own OS\VM-like process so that applications could be distributed without any concerns for the configuration of the host operating systems.

That phase of this development appeared to have petered out a number of years ago leaving everyone with the new construct that the current version of Docker is today.

Technically, I never understood the need for such implementations if an organization is primarily supporting one major operating system. Those that support multiple operating systems are doing it for one of two reasons; the organization has a definitive requirement to do so or they are simply stupid and like to have additional complexity in their environments so they can feel important.

In any event, though the explanations here as to what Docker actually is may be correct; to me nonetheless, it is just another form of virtualization even if the Docker supporters deny this...
