I have long felt like containers, and VMs before then, have been abused to the point of absurdity. Most of the primary reasons for people jumping to them are already sufficiently solved problems. * Resource and process isolation -> capability-based security * Dependency management conflict resolution -> nix / guix style package management * Cluster orchestration and monitoring -> ansible, salt, chef, puppet, etc. If you need all of those things at the same time, maybe containers are the right choice. But I hate the fact that the first thing we do when we run into a pip package conflict is to jump to the overhead of containerization.
