Containers shine when you are deep into enterprise territory and testing one application means booting five more and like four Postgres and three Oracle DB and a JMS node with plumbing and so on. You don't want to figure that out with VM:s, and you're likely to deploy to application servers or something Kube-like anyway.

So I fully agree with TFA. It's a nuisance, but certain niche situations that are unavailable to most webstuff devs are exceptions.
