I don't agree "container" is marketing-speak; you could say it was appropriated, but I was using linux-containers in early 2000s when it was still a kernel patch. We all knew that bare metal offers a lot and our servers are underutilized most of the time, and VMs were considered a heavier option.

I still think using "container" lose the fact that it's just a process with some tweaks :)
I'm not saying "marketing" as to say it was coined by non technical people, but rather that it's a way to "sell" the feature. Like you go see your manager and say "I'm going to containerize the application" vs saying "I'm going to add some isolation settings to the process"
