    Article title is a bit click-baity. The article is only talking about Docker Desktop on Mac or Windows. Docker Linux have not been using microVMs for a decade.

      It's still not a bad idea to reduce attack surface. A VM is much easier to harden than a kernel.

        Of course it’s not a bad idea. It’s just a bad article.
