different technologies.

Ovirt is a gui manager for large-scale kvm.

Docker is a container for applications and their run-time requirements.
Think chroot on steroids and cross-platform.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
- Speech 11/23/1900 Mark Twain
