> Containers aren't Docker.

Discussing if containers are Docker or not I'm this discussing is a non-sequitur fueled by needless nitpicking and being pedantic for being pedantic.

The whole point is that all those features that I listed are basic container features, not higher-level concepts provided at the container orchestration level.

> Same is true for AMIs and VMs.

No, not really. Running something in a VM is not the same as running a containerized process.



I'm not saying that running something in a VM is the same as in a container -> that's the whole point of the article. I'm saying that just like you should treat containers like cattle, you can treat VMs like that too. What do you think folks did before containers existed :)
