Cloud Foundry vs Docker Datacenter: What are the differences?
Developers describe Cloud Foundry as "Deploy and scale applications in seconds on your choice of private or public cloud".

Cloud Foundry makes it faster and easier to build, test, deploy, and scale applications. On the other hand, Docker Datacenter is detailed as "Develop and manage apps at any scale". Docker Datacenter is an integrated solution including open source and commercial software, the integrations between them, full Docker API support, validated configurations and commercial support for your Docker Datacenter environment.
Cloud Foundry can be classified as a tool in the "Platform as a Service" category, while Docker Datacenter is grouped under "Containers as a Service".
