in a related vein, most of the distinctions that are being brought up around containers vs vms (pricing, debugability, tooling, overhead) are nothing fundamental at all. they are both executable formats that cut at different layers, and there is really no reason why features of one can't be easily brought to the other. operating above these abstractions can save us time, but please stop confusing the artifacts of implementation with some kind of fundamental truth. its really hindering our progress.
