Plan9-derived OS's are at their best when used on multiple systems connected as a network or cluster, not just on a single "spare" box. What the Linux ecosystem calls "containerization" is part of the basic workings of the system, and you can use the "cpu" facility to execute processes remotely (perhaps via a "cloud" service) whilst giving them access to local resources and doing I/O on your local system. It's essentially aiming to create a completely transparent replacement for 'ssh' and its derivatives, including orchestration, containerization etc. frameworks.
