    I thought this might be an interesting read until I saw the blurb with 4 hashtags and 4 emoticons in just 4 sentences.

    To fully grasp how containers actually work, you should read the Linux kernel documentation on namespaces and permission control via capabilities.

    Hmm, I thought the aspect of demystification would also include a brief explanation on, how namespaces and capabilities work.

      The people saying that are just pushing some other product in you.

        Please don’t push any product into me. I do not consent :D

    This doesn’t really explain anything. Not least why I should use it.
