Accessing local file systems from a container? What heresy is this? Containers must all be stateless webscale single-"process" microservices with no need of local file systems and other obsolescent concepts.

Next thing you know someone will run as many as two whole "processes" in a container!

Having dispensed with that bit of bitter sarcasm; solving their local filesystem performance/security problems is great and all, but what I'd like to see for containers is to utilize an already invented wheel of remote block devices; ah la iSCSI and friends. I dream of getting there with Cloud Hypervisor or some such where every container has a kernel that can network transparently mount whatever it has the credentials to mount from whatever 'worker' node it happens to be running on.
