Man Allan Jude is a name I haven't heard in awhile. I was a big fan of Jupiter Broadcasting back around ~2013-2015, and I used to listen to "BSD Now", even though I didn't run BSD. Kind of sad how nuts Bryan Lunduke and to a lesser extent Chris Fisher have gone, since I used to love listening to all their shows while driving to and from work. Anyway, when I ran FreeNAS in 2015, I certainly thought of Jails as containers, and I thought of them as roughly analogous to Docker. I always thought of both of them as "light VMs", `chroot` on steroids is not a terrible way to put it, as the article pointed out. They both share their host kernels and have lower overhead than something like QEMU or bhyve or Xen. I guess Docker feels a bit more declarative, but that seems more like a layer on top of the underlying tech of cgroups and whatnot than anything else.
