Does the complexity of using containers bother anybody? It just seems like this adds so many more attack points by removing the virtual machine which was a good way to organize services.

It doesn't seem all that complex; sure, its (in the typical cloud use case) another level of organization, but done right it should actually simplify organization and deployments.

Containers are different than VMs, but using them doesn't mean "removing the virtual machine". Particularly in the use cases that Google is embracing (e.g., on a cloud platform where the containers are for use on VMs.) How, specifically, does it add "attack points"?
