&lt;i&gt;Is Triton open source?&lt;p&gt;Yes. Triton Elastic Container Infrastructure is the commercial offering built on the top of the open-source SmartDataCenter cloud infrastructure management platform. In addition to the open source components, Triton includes support, a DevOps portal, and intellectual property indemnification only available to commercial customers.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;In more plain English, &amp;quot;Yes. Triton is open source just like Mac OS X&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.joyent.com/developers/triton-faq#os&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.joyent.com&amp;#x2F;developers&amp;#x2F;triton-faq#os&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

What&amp;#x27;s the catch? It looks like it solves so many problems with clustered container deployment. Exposing a whole datacenter as a single Docker host seems like the end-game to me.&lt;p&gt;Am I missing something? I&amp;#x27;m a little low on sleep today.&lt;p&gt;edit: To answer my own question a little: I guess the docker-sdc isn&amp;#x27;t quite fully baked yet. That&amp;#x27;s not really a huge issue since it&amp;#x27;s still a preview, I think?</text></comment>
