Docker juża l-karatteristiċi tal-kernel Linux — namespaces (iżolazzjoni), cgroups (kontroll tar-risorsi), u union filesystems (immaġini f'saffi) — biex toħloq kontejners ħfifa. Fehim tal-mekkaniżmi sottostanti jispjega kif il-kontejners jaqsmu l-iżolazzjoni u l-effiċjenza.
Namespaces — iżolazzjoni
Linux NAMESPACES isolate what a process can SEE — giving each container its own view:
PID namespace → its own process tree (container sees only its processes)
NET namespace → its own network interfaces, IPs, ports
MNT namespace → its own filesystem mounts
UTS namespace → its own hostname
IPC, USER namespaces → isolated IPC, user/group ID mapping
→ Namespaces are WHY a container feels like a separate machine (isolated view),
while actually sharing the host kernel.
