What I see happening now on the cloud is containers from different companies and different security domain running on the same VM. I have to think this is fundamentally insecure and that VMs are underrated.
I hear people advocate QubesOS for security which is based on XEN when it comes to running my client. They say my banking should be done in a different VM than my email for instance. Well if that’s the case, why do we run many containers doing different security sensitive functions on the same VM when containers are not really considered a very good security boundary?
From a security design perspective I imagine hardware being exclusive to a person/organization, vms being exclusive to some security function, and containers existing on top of that makes more sense from a security function but we seem to be playing things more loosely on the server side.
