> Google's "containers" are most definitely not "docker containers". erm what now?

• habitue 7y ago
  They're using the same underlying kernel features like namespaces and cgroups, but the docker spec is a very particular choice for how to specify a container, and Google was doing containerization long before docker existed, so they are undoubtedly not using the exact same formulation of containers in borg

    When you use GKE the containers are CoreOS by default, hence my confusion
