I don’t disagree that FaaS and CGI are wildly different but I’m not sure I understand your distinction between containers and processes. Containers are processes decorated with networking namespaces, control groups, and chroot.
- jacques_chester 9y agoThe thing I'm driving at is that containers create much stronger isolation than shared hosting does. Both are processes, but the administrative overhead is lower when you can contain the blast radius with namespaces and cgroups. The illusion of isolation is much more complete to the containerised process than for an uncontainerised one.
