given that Docker mostly (entirely?) gives a single UI to various related Linux kernel features, I don't see how it is bloat at all. Docker just tells the kernel to create a separate cgroup and networking, CPU, and RAM namespaces and then launches one or more processes within the confines set up with those things. it's the same overhead/bloat as launching any normal process in the default cgroup and contexts. > ... wrapped in a docker container because the developer loves docker I think you maybe don't love Docker and that's coloring some things for you, unjustly.
