Does Cloud Native Mean Container Native?
summary
Argues containers are necessary but not sufficient for cloud native and that cloud native means customers want fewer infrastructure chores not just container runtimes. Credits immutable infrastructure via overlay filesystems for DevOps gains, cites that 70% of images are insecure (scanners expose more than VMs did), and proposes CSP-side image patching using overlays plus metadata to avoid forcing small customers to rebuild. Notes container-native bare metal gives near‑bare‑metal performance, and lightweight VMs or microcontainers suit fast serverless functions.
