Why was using straigt containers not enough?

containers work fine for a lot of this. shuru is just what felt more natural to me. less config overhead and i wanted to learn by building it.

  • What would you say are a natural use case for Shuru or Lima vs say a full docker like environment? What does the sandbox allow you to do differently? There's additional overhead of the hypervisor. I'm mostly just trying to learn, as yourself.

    • installing new tools inside container requires you to update the Dockerfile and rebuild, here it seems you can simply run the installation command and create a checkpoint
