Yeah, you’re right of course; my point was more that somehow we ended up with a “standard” format to store and distribute images, have plethora of tools that are able to run it, but they’re all using the same kernel fundamentals (cgroups).
But all that would be a distraction from the point I was trying to make, so I simplified it a bit.
- tannhaeuser 4y agoWhat you're meaning is that "we" have converged on tech dominated by big cloud vendors. A standard, OTOH, is something implemented by more than a single party. Unix (POSIX) used to be standardized in that way. Portability, sustainability, and avoiding dominance by a single party was always the point of Unix; as on OS, Unix wasn't particularly innovative but merely good enough and compact, even when it was new.
