Clear Containers vs Boxfuse: What are the differences?

Developers describe Clear Containers as "Use the isolation of virtual-machine technology along with the deployment benefits of containers". We set out to build Clear Containers by leveraging the isolation of virtual-machine technology along with the deployment benefits of containers. As part of this, we let go of the "generic PC hardware" notion traditionally associated with virtual machines; we're not going to pretend to be a standard PC that is compatible with just about any OS on the planet. On the other hand, Boxfuse is detailed as "Immutable Infrastructure Made Easy". It generates minimal images for your application in seconds. They boot directly on virtual hardware. There is no classic OS and no container runtime.

Clear Containers and Boxfuse can be categorized as "Virtual Machine Platforms & Containers" tools.

Clear Containers is an open source tool with 421 GitHub stars and 58 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Clear Containers's open source repository on GitHub.
