Those containers run on a monolithic kernel; what's your point?

The supposed performance gains from monolithic kernel being wasted on features that mimic microkernel features.

And still manage to run better than a complete microkernel

So goes the mythological tales from ancient times.

That is what happens when people don't update themselves.

So two things:

1. Containers don't have a meaningful performance hit. (They are semi-frequently used with things that can have a perf hit, like overlay filesystems, but this is generally easy to skip when it matters.)

2. I don't think containers meaningfully mimic microkernel features. If I run everything on my laptop in a container, and a device driver crashes, then the machine is still hosed.

1. The amount of memory consumption I see, versus traditional processes, must be a mirage.

2. It depends on what the containers are being used for. Microkernels aren't only about using drivers in userspace.
