I disagree, they are different, and that (containerization, not container here) is the more novel/interesting one imo. It'd be nice to focus the discussion more (though at present there are many confused comments there that think they're discussing the container tool).
Whoops, I merged them but you've persuaded me to unmerge them. This will take a bit of time.
Edit: reverted!
Oh no, sorry! :)
On the contrary, it was helpful. Normally "containerization framework" and "container runtime" announced on the same day by the same company would obviously be the same story—but this was a rare exception and I'm glad you pointed it out!
Oh, like OP I didn’t see the difference. I believe the difference is:
Container is a CLI tool
Containerization is a framework
Yes, container is like `docker` CLI: 'I am a developer and I want to run a container'; containerization is for packaging OCI image container sidecars into Swift .apps - you could distribute your app with postgres 'built in' (but running as a container), user doesn't need to ensure it's installed and running separately or anything.
