What people said

This is precisely why I said the fact that someone would gloss over this is a red flag. The point is super critical . VMs are literally so hard to do correctly and in a performant fashion that parts of CPU instruction sets[0], and kernel subsystems (KVM[1]) were created to make them easier to run. Containers, in contrast are literally a few flags and a bunch of in-kernel antics. A few people, notably Liz Rice and Jessie Frazelle have given talks on how to make containers from scratch that are very illuminating for those that are interested: [VIDEO] [LINK] [0]: [LINK] [1]: [LINK]

In the same vein: Building a container from scratch in Go (Liz Rice) @ Container Camp 2016 -> [LINK] What's a container really let's write one in go from sctach (Liz Rice) @ Golang UK Conference -> [VIDEO] Cgroups, Namespaces and beyond: What are containers made from (Jerome Petazzoni) @ DockerCon 2015 - [LINK] Building Containers in Pure Bash and C (Jessica Frazelle) @ ContainerSummit 2016: [LINK] First two are basically the same talk, but it doesn't hurt to hear the same ideas more than once.
