Which Intel virtualizaton techniques are necessary for Docker?

Which Intel virtualizaton techniques are necessary for Docker?

On a Linux system running on a Intel cpu, what Virtualization Technologies by Intel are necessary to fullfill the execution of a Docker container? E.g. there are VT-X, ...

Or is there no need of using such a technology because Docker is somehow different to existing virtualization solutions like VirtualBox. In this case, why is there no need?

None. Docker uses a completely different system - it's not running a virtual machine so much as a super chroot. See the question below: Can I run Docker directly on a non VT-X machine (no Virtual Machine used)?

The tutorials that tell you you'll need VT-x are usually based on running docker in Windows (on Hyper-V) or in VirtualBox.
