So:

* Docker

* XFS as default filesystem, btrfs available

* systemd and .service files replacing the duct tape of overlapping services and shell scripts

* Normal RHEL stuff like SystemTap support

> Performance Co-Pilot

The name is identical to a tool I used over a decade ago at SGI. Is this a distant descendant thereof?


Most likely, does the tool you remember look similar to http://www.performancecopilot.org/ ?


Yup, same one. Cool.


Several ex-SGI developers are now employed by Red Hat.


Yes it is.


Not Docker. Linux containers (LXC). They predate Docker by a couple years. Docker is app-focused whereas LXC is more machine focused. Docker uses LXC as an underlying technology making them easier to use for deploying apps. Docker is the current poster-child for containers, but most containers are not Docker and containers have existed for years in multiple forms.


No, explicitly Docker (which includes Linux containers) - see http://www.redhat.com/about/news/press-archive/2014/6/red-ha.... Actually Docker was added post-release to RHEL 6, but it's there out of the box in RHEL 7.


I stand corrected. I read three different release notes on it and all of them mentioned LXC without mentioning Docker.

No he hasn't. He's posted duplicate posts - the latest one shows as dead.
