  > Containers are marketing slang for operating-system virtualization. Containers are considerably more than virtualization[1], which is why jails/zones/kvm never took off, but Docker did. > Oh really? So containers are not isolated to each other...that's some news...bad ones Indeed, containers make for very poor security boundaries. But there are upsides to sharing the same kernel. > composibility....stop with that stinking shit please. Are you unfamiliar with "composition" as a software design/architecture term? One can create and bundle (Docker) containers that work together and have a shared network interface in a way that jails can't. As an example, a reverse proxy + service backend + db working in concert. 1. Disk storage format, standardized packaging descriptor, repository.

    It's like you don't even understand what a container is, let alone comparing kvm with jails. Then giving a example that is a piece of cake for jails/zones...even in a concert. Please educate yourself about zones, brandedzones and lxzones (for the solaris/illumos) or jails (for the bsd side) it's really interesting i can tell you, and additionally you don't sound like marketing blabla after that.
