 ## Containers
 
-As most people know them right now, containers are exclusive to Linux.[^1] This is
-because they use namespaces and cgroups to achieve isolation.
+VMs use virtualisation to achieve isolation. Containers use **namespaces** and
+**cgroups**, technologies pioneered in the Linux kernel. By now, though, there
+are [equivalents for Windows] and possibly other platforms.
 
-- **[Linux namespaces]** partition kernel resources like process IDs, hostnames,
-  user IDs, directory hierarchies, network access, etc.
-- **[Cgroups]** limit, track, and isolate the hardware resource use of a set of
-  processes

+
+**[Linux namespaces]** partition kernel resources like process IDs, hostnames,
+user IDs, directory hierarchies, network access, etc. This prevents one
+collection of processes from seeing or gaining access to data regarding another
+collection of processes.
+
+**[Cgroups]** limit, track, and isolate the hardware resource use of a
+collection of processes. If you tell a cgroup that it's only allowed to spawn
+500 child processes and someone executes a fork bomb, the fork bomb will expand
+until it hits that limit. The kernel will prevent it from spawning further
+children and you'll have to resolve the issue the same way you would with VMs:
+delete and re-create it, restore from a good backup, etc. You can also limit CPU
+use, the number of CPU cores it can access, RAM, disk use, and so on.

 ### Application containers
 
+The most well-known example of application container tech is probably
+[Docker.][docker] The goal here is to run a single application as minimally as
+possible inside each container. In the case of a single, statically-linked Go
+binary, a minimal Docker container might contain nothing more than the binary.
+If it's a Python application, you're more likely to use an [Alpine Linux image]
+and add your Python dependencies on top of that. If a database is required, that
+goes in a separate container. If you've got a web server to handle TLS
+termination and proxy your application, that's a third container. One cohesive
+system might require many Docker containers to function as intended.

 ### System containers
 
+One of the most well-known examples of system container tech is the subject of
+this post: LXD! Rather than containing a single application or a very small set
+of them, system containers are designed to house entire operating systems, like
+[Debian] or [Rocky Linux,][rocky] along with everything required for your
+application. Using our examples from above, a single statically-linked Go binary
+might run in a full Debian container, just like the Python application might.
+The database and webserver might go in _that same_ container.

+[Debian]: https://www.debian.org/

+
+You treat each container more like you would a VM, but you get the performance
+benefit of _not_ virtualising everything. Containers are _much_ lighter than any
+virtual machine.

-### When you use application containers
+As far as I'm aware, VMs are your only option when you want to work with
+esoteric hardware or hardware you don't physically have on-hand. It's also your
+only option when you want to work with foreign operating systems: running Linux
+on Windows, Windows on Linux, or OpenBSD on a Mac all require virtualisation.
+Another reason to stick with VMs is for compliance purposes. Containers are
+still very new and some regulatory bodies require virtualisation because it's a
+decades-old and battle-tested isolation technique.
