On: Containers vs. Zones vs. Jails vs. VMs

I'm going to be captain obvious here and let people know that the post I'm replying to is being extremely sarcastic. The author of the article is extremely well known in the Linux container community.

It's really strange to reply sarcastically to someone pointing out the author made some fundamental mistakes.

An appeal to authority in the form of a sarcastic reply really adds nothing to the discussion.

Adding to what discussion, exactly? To my eyes most comments so far seem to be little more than "I agree with the author" or "I disagree".

OP's comment on the other hand at least told me something about the person behind the article.

That said. I am now curious about comparisons between containers/jails/etc across various different metrics that people care about.

Also, what cool non-containerization uses of cgroups and namespaces have some of you gotten up to?

>Adding to what discussion, exactly?

Please read the context to which I replied. That's usually the discussion someone is referring to when they mention 'the discussion' in a reply. The OP highlighted specific issues with the analysis in the article and then someone shit on it with a sarcastic reply.
