This goes doubly for "containers" not understanding chroot/jails.
- jjnoakes 10y agoAre you suggesting that containers provide about what chroot provides? Containers provide chroot-like behavior for more than just the filesystem. Processes, user IDs, network interfaces... Chroot is filesystem only.
- arno1 10y agoWell, there is a distinct difference between traditional chroot and the Linux control groups and namespaces. If only chroot was enough, noone would be investing their time to the cgroups, namespaces, LXC, Docker, etc... :-)
