Decentralized consensus does not solve data immutability. The append-only feature in Blockchain does that. So, you only need an append-only DB, without any form of decentralization, to do the same job.

Have you checked with hyper.sh?

The difference is not nesting your container in VM. Instead, the container is secure, isolated as VM. Then container becomes the foundation for hosting platform, e.g. EC2, not just app deployment atop IaaS.

The multenancy challenge comes from the lack of isolation in container. Therefore, people nest containers in VM and put a scheduler atop.

But if there is secured, isolated container, we won't need the VM nor the scheduler, the container becomes the hosting platform, aka EC2, DO.

Right, guess what I'm proposing is more of VPS and Iaas, not containers nested in VM.

Not really, what I'm saying is more like DO, atop of secured container.

Also, it is more of a VPS or IaaS, not have to be CaaS or Microservices.

Try Hyper on Mac: https://hyper.sh/blog/post/2015/07/30/running-containers-fro...

Well, Docker still doesn't support all linux distros, so it doesn't run anywhere.

Why not?

So, for each Docker image, hyper creates a VM?

I'm not sure I understand this. How is it different from b2d?

Yes, but there is no guest OS anymore. No more configuration in the VM instance.

Photon is built for this case: a minimalist OS to run only as guest.

However, check out hyper.sh, the project uses hypervisors to run Docker images, which completely eliminates the need of guest OS, making the whole stack immutable while just offering the hypervisor-level isolation.

In my opinion, Hyper is the way to go, instead of the minimalist guest OS distro.

People use Docker in a public cloud (VM), primarily to simplify the deployment pipeline, not for LXC.

Given this, it actually makes sense to combine VM with Docker, check out www.hyper.sh

Hmm, I happen to know some details of that. It is actually a quite powerful technology with some out-of-box ideas.
