I enjoyed this blog post. Julia does a great job of distilling an idea down with examples.

I am fairly comfortable with Linux as a user for things like understanding processes, ports, key files and utilities, etc. The way I understand how to model abstractions like containers is to know the various OS primitives like cgroups, changing root, network isolation. Once one sees how those pieces come together to create the container abstraction, they can be mapped to the system calls provided by the OS. Usually they also have utilities bundled (like `chroot`) to interface with those primitives as an operator.

I have been confused about containers for so long but having read your comment and looking up the terms you mentioned allowed me to finally find the right articles that explained containers to me. Thanks!

Can YOU post links to the articles so we can learn?

Thanks!
