Docker makes deploying your entire development environment easier and portable than many other container software. Many developers swear by Docker's ease of use when compared to other container software. Docker is capable of virtualization, as are many of its alternatives.
Docker is available for all major operating systems, though there are alternatives to Docker with self-hosting options, as well as on systems running FreeBSD.
Nanobox is the ideal platform for developers. Taking on the role of DevOps, so you don't have to, Nanobox does all your infrastructure creation, configuration, and management, so you're able to focus on code, not config. Create consistent, isolated, development environments that are easily shareable with anyone, and can be deployed to any host (AWS, Digital Ocean, Azure, Google, etc.). Easily manage production applications with the Nanobox dashboard.
Singularity creates a virtual environment for applications without the performance penalties associated with virtual machines. Best of both worlds: it simplifies the deployment of applications across different clusters and supercomputers by avoiding the laborious process of rehosting those applications for each distinct environment, without requiring a virtualized hardware layer..
Apache Mesos is a cluster manager that simplifies the complexity of running applications on a shared pool of servers.
Datacol is a control layer on top of cloud (AWS/GCP), to provide Heroku like experience with the power of Kubernetes under the hood.
