Well, if you rent containers, you get containers. If you rent bare-metal machines, you get bare metal machines. So I don't see how this assertion makes any sense.

The CMU article skims around the names but call containers "virtual runtime environment" instead of straight "virtualization". But by that definition everything in any modern computer is "virtualized" because it runs over Virtual Memory.
