Containerization has a specific meaning in the context of computers so maybe the title should be changed to "The Hidden Costs of [Shipping Containers]" to reduce confusion for people clicking the link thinking it is going to be an article about the drawbacks of docker

Fell for it too. Was hoping for something else :-(

indeed, it's probably not the author's intent but it's really clickbait for coders

"The Hidden Costs of California" would be the most accurate title in this case.

Even the real life container ship imagery doesn't give it away because often containerization articles are full of that too

  Hell, Docker's logo evokes that imagery.

Not me openinig the article already thinking if they're talking about CPU overhead when using docker compared to bare metal.

Unfortunately, "shipping containers" (where "shipping" is a verb, not an adjective) also has a computing meaning, so your proposed title would be just as misleading.

  I went down this entire train of thought after opening the article and decided on "The Hidden Costs of [Shipment] Containerization." This I think clarified overload on "shipping", "ship", "containers" and "containization." At least until next week when Docker decides to offer a new deployment option/format/interface it calls a "Shipment" or some nonsense. I'm sure the people knowledgable of physical shipping containers and infrastructure really weren't that concerned or perhaps even aware how overloaded the term is in tech, nor did they know they'd land on the front page of a highly trafficked tech site. I don't know the policy on editorialized headlines here but I know people seem to get up in arms about it, which I understand, but here's a case where a nice insert makes sense.
