Layered diagram of seven Linux namespaces surrounding a containerized process tree.

Inside Linux Namespaces: Unpacking the Kernel Primitives That Power Container Isolation

Containers look like lightweight VMs, but they’re really just processes wrapped in namespaces and cgroups. We unpack mount, PID, network, UTS, IPC, user, and cgroup namespaces, trace how runtimes like containerd wire them together, and explore the failure modes every SRE should know.
