As someone rather unfamiliar with the differences in cloud containerization options, I've been extremely confused anytime I see extremely opinionated arguments about cloud infra. This article was a breath of fresh air and is exactly the reference guide that I have been looking for. The author provides a clear history of the development of the titular systems, provides an in-depth overview of their various strengths, and adequately describes the differences in architecture. Overall, an excellent read for the uninitiated.

I have previously tried to investigate why Kubernetes was considered useful [1], or why everyone was losing their minds over Docker [2]. But rarely came away with any clear insights.
