@stutteringsteve let me explain it for you...
Containers are just Linux processes with optional different namespaces and control groups (cgroups).
Containers are normally formed with their own "root filesystem" called an OCI Image which is what tools like docker build and the Dockerfile format is good at doing.

@prologic This should be forever pinned, because that is, by far, the simplest explanation of Linux containers I have seen yet. I've thought of containers as a special chroot concept of sorts. Glad to know I wasn't wrong with that assumption!
@prologic Lol, I'm honestly still trying wrap my head around Kubernetes. It's seemingly an Ansible with far greater capabilities. In practice, is Kubernetes supposed to replace Ansible?
@prologic wait so RancherOS is just one big lie? 😂
