Docker has quietly used microVMs since 2016

Original: Docker has always used microVMs (well since 2016)

A new write-up argues that Docker has in fact relied on microVM-style isolation since around 2016, pushing back on the idea that microVMs are a recent innovation popularized by newer sandboxing tools. The piece is drawing attention among developers discussing container security and virtualization history, with readers weighing in on how Docker's architecture has evolved and what it means for claims by newer lightweight-VM projects.

Why now: It challenges the common narrative that microVMs are a recent development, prompting debate about container isolation history.
