The next generation of OpenShift is largely hypothetical at the moment.

Cloud Foundry already has a container-based PaaS and it's only getting better. And it's not tied to a single vendor.

Disclaimer: I'm biased as hell, I work on CF for my dayjob.

The current version of OpenShift (2.X) is essentially Linux container based (selinux, cgroups, kernel namespaces). OpenShift 2.X has been running in production for years now (openshift.com). The reason something like Docker wasn't used is because nothing existed, so Red Hat had to invent something. From an app perspective it's fairly good for what it does.

Thanks for the correction, I was wrong. I do note that Warden uses a lot of the same primitives (as do several projects building on the facilities that arose or were repurposed for Linux-VServer, OpenVZ, LXC etc etc).

No I've got no interest in OpenShift and wasn't referring to it, I was referring to Project Atomic[1] and the RHEL/Fedora/CentOS Atomic Host.

Granted, but I was replying to chuhnk's comment, which mentioned both OpenShift and Atomic.
