I read some articles about using a virtual environment in Docker. Their argument are that the purpose of virtualization in Docker is to introduce isolation and limit conflicts with system packages etc.

However, aren’t Docker and Python-based images (e.g., python:*) already doing the same thing?

Can someone eli5 this whole thing?

    It’s a bit unclear to me what you refer to with “their argument”. What argument exactly?
