I'm highly skeptical of the benefits of containers in the embedded space. The inertia required to set them up and maintain them, and train customers to use them is massive. I'm sure some people benefit somewhere, but in my experience people want a zip file of your code base, platform support package version, and compiler version, ... that's 99% of it. Working with ARC/MSP430/ATMEL/PIC/Cortex-M devices for decades I have rarely seen a codebase over 10 megabytes of customer C code.
