Yea I don't understand the original comment... however it is true Java isn't (or at least wasn't until recently) ideal for containerization, since the JVM would not obey things like cgroup limits for memory and CPU. This was fixed in Java 9 and backported to the Java 8 (update 131) however there are still potential issues regarding CPU isolation that are not trivially solved without some explicit configuration.
