    Not only that but containers in general run on the host system’s kernel, the actual isolation of the containers is pretty minimal compared to virtual machines for example.

      What exactly do you think the vm is running on if not the system kernel with potentially more layers.

        Virtual machines do not use host kernel, they run full OS with kernel, cock and balls on virtualized hardware on top of the host OS.

        Containers are using the host kernel and hardware without any layer of virtualization
