Does it support Kerberos authentication?

To add on to this -- the about page acknowledges how "many are confused" about the name but effectively brushes it off because "kerberos is a good name", then "it's not actually kerberos, but kerberos.io", followed by "it's a mouthful so we'll just say kerberos" (and the HN submission just says kerberos)

I feel like the name really might be an impediment to the project. Not that people can't ever re-use names, but this really feels like a pointless impediment to discoverability.

It actually is a really good name. But yeah, I had the same confusion.

How does Fat Albert eat up hardware resources?

Also, don’t you need to know the specs of the individual container instances before determining it will be resource starved on the host?

I have an off-the-shelf CCTV DVR that supports 4k with up to 8 cameras, but it struggles with more than 4.

I wonder if MIT trademarked Kerberos.
