Originally this was going to be a post about containers. Not the fun kind of container mind you, that has pretty amazing origin story and how it actually is one of those things that changed the world. Which you can by the way read about on Wikipedia under Intermodal container and I have a recollection that there is an amazing episode by the “Why Would You Tell Me About That?” podcast about them as well, but my searching for it failed me.

No, it was going to be about virtualisation type of containers. The kind of containers that run software applications, typically in cloud, but quite often also in non-cloud environments these days.

Anyway, I understand why, and the benefits, but sometimes working with them is just such a pain. Quite often things aren’t easy and it’s a tradeof for all the benefits they bring.

I understand that. But… ARGH!
