-Docker complements LXC with a high-level API which operates at the
-process level. It runs unix processes with strong guarantees of
-isolation and repeatability across servers.

-Docker is a great building block for automating distributed systems:
-large-scale web deployments, database clusters, continuous deployment
-systems, private PaaS, service-oriented architectures, etc.
+Docker is an open source project to pack, ship and run any application
+as a lightweight container
+
+Docker containers are both hardware-agnostic and platform-agnostic.
+This means that they can run anywhere, from your laptop to the largest
+EC2 compute instance and everything in between - and they don't
+require that you use a particular language, framework or packaging
+system. That makes them great building blocks for deploying and
+scaling web apps, databases and backend services without depending on
+a particular stack or provider.
+
+Docker is an open-source implementation of the deployment engine which
+powers dotCloud, a popular Platform-as-a-Service. It benefits directly
+from the experience accumulated over several years of large-scale
+operation and support of hundreds of thousands of applications and
+databases.
