This has a chance to do to Docker (quick painless docker containers hosting) what Digital Ocean did to VM hosting (quick, painless VMs in the cloud).

This will definitely be my go-to hosting for personal side projects.

I wonder if the major cloud providers will have something similar (both Azure and AWS seem to spin up VMs on which they run the containers - but you do get charged for the VMs as well)

Seems a bit expensive compared with the cheapest VPS/OpenVZ setups around.

But then can you run Docker on top of OpenVZ? Oh yes, technically you can starting from version x, but I've been told (by a VPS provider) there are a lot of issues in practice.

Of course, I'd love to hear if the opposite is true.

The pricing on this is amazing. It's cheap enough to run a few services that I'd prefer to keep off my home machines. How secure are these containers though? I always thought that Linux containers were not designed to be a guaranteed firewall between multiple tenants. EDIT: They use their own technology to run docker on "bare metal hypervisors" - https://github.com/hyperhq/hyperd . That's actually pretty cool.

There's a bit more info here: https://docs.hyper.sh/Introduction/what_is_hyper_.html

Let me see if I got this straight: 1. Hyper.sh is a PaaS running their own open-source stack https://hypercontainer.io/ ? 2. That means that it's possible to host "your own hyper.sh" on AWS or DO?

Hi, founder is here.

1. Yes, our SW is open sourced: github.com/hyperhq 2. Not really, Hypercontainer runs on bare-metal, as it uses hypervisors (KVM, Xen) underneath.

The bigger sizes? Yes, but the small ones work pretty sweet. And the per-second billing!

Yeah, per second billing is nice. I can see this working where you want to change/test lots of containers briefly.
