To me, containers are like OOP. Nice ideas on paper but a pain the ass in practice. but again, like OOP, a lot of people do great things with them but I don't think they can't do the same things with VMs.

My theory is eventually things will come full circle and there will entire app ecosystems running in a unikernel executable which is running on physical hardware and the hardware itself is segmented. I can imagine companies like netflix and cloudflare having racks of servers with 1TB ram with no disk, booting a unikernel from the network for maximum throughput and latency and then everyone in tech follows along.

I think you don't understand the problem.

What people want is the ability to do all these things with a single command that they put inside a bash script.
