This is cool. For dev, the docker runtime consumes an enormous amount of host system resources. Even with a 16gb RAM host machine, docker is really resource heavy for a development environment. If this can cut down on host system resource usage, that's a major win.

Are you on a non linux host? I assume docker is a lot less heavy on resources on linux than on mac&win.
they have to be. Docker is extremely light weight on a linux host.
I assume they are running it on Windows - I've been running Docker Desktop on Windows for years, and it's backed by a Hyper-V Linux VM, which does seem to use a lot more CPU than running Docker on Linux.
