If I'm developing on OS X, would it still be possible to use rkt?

How are the tools for managing your rkt deployments? Since Hashicorp supports it, I'm starting to think that I would be better off using their tooling to abstract myself from the specific container implementation.

I think we're seeing a shift in focus in the container world from container runtimes such as Docker, to container orchestration systems such as Kubernetes. At some point the container runtime becomes just an implementation detail.

Unless Docker finds a way of moving up the stack they are going to have a hard time defending their current valuation. Their current efforts provides close to zero monetizable value.

You can use kubernetes to deploy rkt containers.

If only Docker was working on orchestration... oh hey Swarm/Compose, I didn't see you over there.

Given the glacial pace of Swarm development, it's not going to be a serious contender in this space anytime soon.

You can use kubernetes to deploy rkt containers.

more like, "you will be able to", its not released yet. but lots of active work.

Security is good, but it isn't a big problem for my current local container apps. However, I've found Docker clumsy in various areas. Does this improve on the design any?

Also, is there a PPA planned for Ubuntu, or plans to get it into Debian soon, now that it has reached 1.0?

rkt support in k8s has been in for a while. See: http://kubernetes.io/v1.1/docs/admin/kubelet.html (search for "rkt") and https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/docs/ge....
