Solaris had zones, which are similar to LXC or OpenVZ, which Linux had almost as long ago. But neither Solaris zones nor LXC/OpenVZ envisioned the sort of container in which this application is being delivered.

(The key insight here is that "containerization" in the modern sense is about norms/expectations/practices and an ecosystem of tooling around a particular design that's convenient for certain use cases; it's not about a technical facility in the OS.)

Delivering applications in chroot/jail had some momentum circa 2003. The tooling was on par with current docker if chosen wisely, but surely not on the level of vagrant/docker-compose/docker swarm/kubernetes.
