## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

While there have been high profile projects and services using containers (Google contributed cgroups to the Linux kernel in 2007, and notably Heroku, Cloud Foundry and dotCloud were all based on containers since at least 2011), mainstream IT didn’t get excited about the potential of Linux containers until quite recently. So what changed? To be perfectly blunt, the main difference has been the introduction of Docker (which was originally spawned as a project at dotCloud).
