1) Joyent's Triton

Yes, somewhat close. The difference here is that Hyper_ follows the native Docker interface. So working with it is the same as on your laptop.

Joyent Triton also exposes a Docker API, which you use with an unmodified copy of the Docker CLI. In that sense, working with Triton is also the same as on your laptop.

Cool, will check it out. Thx!

Joyent Triton is a lot more native than hyper; you use the Docker CLI not the Hyper CLI.

Hi,cofounder of Hyper_ here.

1) AFAIK, this is the first secure container cloud. 2) You can play with it, but better wait till out of beta 3) We are funded :)
