You might find the borg paper very interesting: http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.co...

The bits of containers that made it out into lxc are essentially borglet features. The rest of the infrastructure around it was never released to the outside world, and now docker is recreating some of that infrastructure. We've had borg for a long time ;)

There's lots more detail in the paper about how these pieces relate to each other.
