WHAT IS A CONTAINER?
• Single process on a shared host, controlled by cgroups, isolated by namespaces
• These primitives aren’t new tech. Containers seem simple on the outside, but all that old

• Capabilities and other ways to attack the Linux kernel still apply
• Shared resources make for a shared attack surface!
