I think many people have the wrong idea what a container is (or i do) and make it sound more exotic than it is. Sure they have some level of isolation but for someone learning this stuff its better to think of them as just a process, like all the other processes running on your computer. And kubernetes as a system that runs and networks processes running on multiple computers.




Well, a group of processes... With some separation between them. Like you can't listen on localhost and call from another pod. But with processes you can do that. Same thing with UDS.

Yea they have forms of isolation. Like all processes. Trying to explain all that just adds complexity.

Ignoring it isn't helpful IMO.

Traditional Unix processes don't have isolation mechanics equivalent to that of containers/namespaces.
