KVM & VMWare are not containerization, they're full virtualization.
There are a lot of benefits to containers and they don't have to be insecure. More efficient resource utilization and orders of magnitude faster allocation and launching to name two.
Google runs a significant portion of its internal operations in a container infrastructure and has for quite a while.[1]
They're perfectly capable of deployment into production environments.
I won't comment on docker as I haven't spent the time to fully grok all its warts.

- jkyle 11y agoI know from Joe Beda's talk [1] they run vm's inside containers for scenarios where they need a managed os. And that those containers run on bare metal. But I can't speak to the reverse not being an employee or authority on Google's internals. 1. https://speakerdeck.com/jbeda/containers-at-scale https://speakerdeck.com/jbeda/containers-at-scale
