> Now what we're seeing is a runtime for this binary being ported around to different platforms. This could get interesting.
With x86 being the primary server/workstation workhorse (lets exclude mobile platforms for the moment), is all of this abstraction necessary? Doing Infrastructure and DevOps, I definitely see the benefit of containerization for build reproducibility and decreasing the friction developers face for running applications locally as they run in production.
Not everyone needs Borg/Mesos/Mesosphere. Not everyone needs containerization. When you have a hammer though, everything starts looking like a nail.
