I'm not a fan of how the article refers to containers as "a form of operating system virtualization", I don't find that a very useful way to think about them.

Generally I think of them as constrained processes which contain an application (or applications) and the supporting libs necessary to run them.

Obviously you can use VM tech in conjunction with containers (e.g. Firecracker) but it's not necessary for their use.

I think I agree but that is the commonly accepted term for them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-level_virtualization.

I feel the same, but I wanted to find the "common" description for containers, and I kept seeing the same description, finally I used that term, and quoted one of the sources I found for it.
