Because each is a jail, not a full blown jail like but a lite-jail. Think of it this way. When I first got into this business everything was run on a huge machine, a mainframe. Later applications were moved from the mainframe to individual machines, databases to database servers, applications to application servers, front end processes to web or proxy servers. Now these services are run on microservices. You are suggesting we go back to the 1960's and 1970's mainframe model. As much as you and I want mainframes back, those days are gone. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
