I was interested in how they got containerization working on a kernel which to my knowledge lacks the required primitives.
What I found was marketing looking to treat containerization as nothing more than a buzz word. The article is tone deaf. It talks about running foreign OSes and legacy support proud in itself because docker cannot. Yet blind to the reason docker cannot: Docker is containers!
Any VM can do what this is doing. This is boring and I feel taken advantage of. They promised Containers can gave fast deployment VMs. On their own that is cool, but not when wrapped in a lie.
