Ignite: The History of Linux Containers

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Starts with chroot (1979) then traces FreeBSD jails (2000), VServer and early Linux patches, kernel namespaces and cgroups (merged around 2.6.24 / 2006–2007), LXC and cluster managers, and the watershed of Docker (first release 2013) with Google claiming ~2 billion containers/week by 2014. Notes rkt, OCI (2015), Kubernetes 1.0 (2015), container-centric OSes, and shows adoption growing as each concrete primitive and implementation proves workable in production.
