Containers != type 1 hypervisor with all-encompassing resource quotas, reservations and prioritization like VMware ESXi. The problem can be solved either using a hypervisor that deploys only one container per VM (with suitable paravirt/dedupe), or fix the OS to operate with much finer-grained resource contention and allocation knobs for each and every limited resource. The latter is superior when only a single OS is needed, because it reduces the need for virtualization as a crutch for inadequacies of the OS.
