Yep but Netflix also has a decade of large scale arch wielded to AWS that we don't.

They might not be deploying containers on VMs on bare metal because they want to, but because they /have/ to.

Mind quantifying this overhead you assume containers-on-metal vs VMs will solve?

It's not assumed, it's widely known VMs have poor IO performance, that one of the main points for containers in the first place. Short ver: GIYF.

If you can't provide numbers, then please talk about what technologies you're assuming are involved that create this overhead.
