Not totally accurate. BSD and solaris have had good containerisation engines for a while. Linux, not so much.

- vertex-four 10y agoEhh... the actual "make a container out of this chunk of the filesystem" bit can be done in a couple hundred lines of Ruby/Python/Perl - Docker is, of course, just telling the kernel to create new uid/filesystem/network/etc namespaces and what to put in them. Most of Docker is the image management system and build tool.
- icebraining 10y agoI think the point is that those namespaces are rather recent themselves, whereas e.g. FreeBSD has had jails since 2000.
