Containers Unveiled: Exploring macOS NATIVE containers

Earthly ➤ https://earthly.dev

In this video, we delve deep into the fascinating world of containers and their implementation on various operating systems. We begin by exploring the traditional definition of containers, which involves using Linux system calls and namespaces for isolation. However, we also introduce an expanded definition that includes shared kernel isolation mechanisms on platforms like Windows and macOS.

We delve into the controversy surrounding the expanded definition of containers. Some individuals question whether containers running on platforms other than Linux can truly be considered containers. We argue for the need to broaden our understanding of containers, emphasizing that the shared kernel isolation mechanism can be implemented differently on each host operating system
