Containing Containers - Advantages and Risks
Description
Container, as defined in the dictionary, is an object that can hold something. Extending its meaning: a place where some correlated items can be stored or move together; a separator of things; a constrain for the contained things. Starting in 1982 with chroot, to BSD-jails, Solaris Containers, LXC, OpenVZ, and Docker, container systems try to keep something isolated from the host system, to keep related things together, to limit the resources a thing can utilize: all focusing and prioritizing different aspects.
