I explain that if the an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a datacenter "cloud", then a container implementation is a "puff".

Virtualizing the kernel like the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) virtualizes a chip core sounds great. But now, in the "puff", all of those networking details that AWS keeps below the hypervizor line confront us. Storage, load balancing, name services, firewalls. . .

Containers can solve packaging issues, but wind up only relocating a vast swath of other problems.

I have to say inventing a new metaphor for container made it harder to follow the point you were trying to make

If you have few enough containers you can give each one an ENI.
