What about OpenVZ and Parallels containers?

As the announcement and forum description mention, "all Linux container platforms are welcome".

Thanks for this!

You should probably mention Qubes OS too since the project is led by the security researcher who discovered the blue pill exploit which led to virtualization (process and otherwise) to be secured properly :-)

As Qubes is based on Xen, related questions probably make more sense in the Virtualization forum.

That makes good sense. Virtualization and containerization can be used for some of the same things, so they come up in the same discussions. They are very different at the lowest levels. It makes sense to recognize the difference and segregate them, but also to acknowledge that they are closely related.

Great.. Docker can be started here.

Nice addition.

Somehow I never noticed this area until just now. Great idea, since I'm still trying to get a handle on the container concept.

Do you Know Docker-box?
By using Docker-box you can run full blown OS as containers within seconds. It is faster than OpenVZ and Xen. Docker-box has UI to run containers easily.

Faster than OpenVZ it is not, but it can use OpenVZ containers if so configured and is pretty nice.
Check into the new OpenVZ 7 OS and Hypervisor install. A totally new kind of OpenVZ install that is crazy neat, and installs like its own linux distribution or complete hypervisor.

Personally, I like the older version better, but support for it is near dead and it is likely to go away when support dies for RHEL6. The new one supports all versions, and does both full and kernel based containers with libvirt compatibility. I have nowhere near mastered this new version, but it seems insanely fast and complete.
