but containerization does not use VMs. containers share the same kernel, but userspace and resources are separated with namespaces. it has a very little overhead

Yes that being my point. When you said wasteful I was thinking you were criticizing them vs VMS which makes no sense.

Even the duplication of layers makes little sense as one, storage is cheap and two, even duplicated they far more than make up for it without needing VMS per.

But then I also see you aren't op who I originally directed the question to.
