Interesting.  I'm a heavy user of containers, even in production 
environments.  One company's resource demands were so heavy it was the 
_only_ virtualisation solution which was viable.

It is true that it is easy to overcommit containers and as a customer 
without any access to the backend it would be difficult to know.

In any case, I'm going to trial one of these services soon.  I'll report 
back to Humbug on how it went.
