Nowhere in what makes a proper container does a VM come into play, unless we are speaking about Docker and the idea of shipping a full blown OS in a zip, to work across heterogeneous hardware.
Yeah so the Docker daemon on a Mac is run inside of a VM.
It doesn't work bare metal for the new macs, and it is extra bloat instead of making use of macOS capabilities.

I was already doing containers with HP-UX Vaults in version 11 back in 1999. Just like any tool that doesn't offer more than an abstraction layer over OS features, eventually it becomes irrelevant as OS tooling improves.
Portability is key. Being able to run an Ubuntu container on macOS is a killer feature.

Well, Docker is a Linux technology. If you really need Docker that badly and can't take the overhead of a VM, then it sounds like you would be better off just running Linux like the rest of us. :)
There is a container runtime / API to abstract this. Pretty sure Windows has equivalents of namespaces and cgroups.

i'm not up on my political references; what does "pull an Andrew Yang" mean?
It has absolutely nothing to do with politics. Microsoft offered to acquire Yahoo for $44.6 billion dollars in 2008 [1]. Jerry* Yang turned them down claiming the offer "substantially undervalued" the company. 8 years later they sold to Verizon for $5 billion [2].

Because they bundle a x86 GNU/Linux package as a runtime. It doesn't work bare metal for the new macs, and it is extra bloat instead of making use of macOS capabilities.
Too bad apple didn't help out docker with a macos native version.
FROM macos:10.13.3
RUN xcode-build
It feels like Docker (Inc) is becoming less and less "relevant" for each year that passes. At least from my perspective, they led the popularisation of containerisation and the whole cattle-not-pets approach of deploying apps. They created big and long lasting change in the industry. But they seem to have lost the production environment race to Kubernetes, at least for now. They are the biggest player in the dev-mach…

Bait and wait and ... But what's step 3? Doesn't seem to work super well, hmm
MySQL was acquired for 1B. Elastic is currently worth 10B. Redhat was acquired for 34B. What's not working well?
I wonder what's next for Elastic. And mongodb etc. And all their users and customers

Hi. I run my production 7 figure ARR SaaS platform on google hosted k8s. I spend under 10 minutes a week on kubernetes. Basically give it an hour every few months. Otherwise it is just a super awesome super stable way for me to run a bunch of bin-packed docker images. I think it’s saved me tons of time and money over lambda or ECS. It’s not F500 scale, but it’s over 100 CPU scale. Confident I have a ton of room to sc…
Tbf you are an experienced operation savvy engineer. Your hourly is astronomically high so you’ve minimized your costs via experience.

If you end up making a blog post about how you do your deployments/monitoring and what it's enabled you to do I think it'd be a great contrast to the "kubernetes is complicated" sentiment on HN.
