In my experience, multi-tenant Linux container security is still in its infancy due to Docker's unwillingness to build out container security models, the complexity of configuring namespace permissions in the kernel, and the lack of namespace awareness among key driver providers like NVIDIA. The most innovative work I've seen done in this space actually comes from the lxc/lxd group at Canonical, who for many years have been doing the heavy lifting in getting cgroup and namespace functionality working properly and securely - and without any of the glamorous publicity that Docker and CoreOS get. They use AppArmor extensively as an "application firewall for syscalls", which may sound ugly but is the most practical security solution I've seen in this space.
