Discuss it First, Move it Later

User:Waysidesc please discuss; Why would you like to redirect Containerization (computing) to OS-level virtualization? Inviting other editors; User:Zoozaz1 and User:ThurnerRupert. RPSkokie (talk) 02:05, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because it is a poor fork of OS-level virtualization. Specifically, it is:

Wholly redundant
Poorly written
Lacking contents
Written without awareness of all the conversation the went in the Talk:OS-level virtualization and the contents of OS-level virtualization
Self-contradictory
Incorrectly attributing application virtualization to containerization.

You can see all of those in this paragraph:

The containers are basically a fully functional and portable cloud or non-cloud computing environment surrounding the application and keeping it independent from other parallelly running environments. Individually each container simulates a different software application and run isolated processes by bundling related configuration files, libraries and dependencies. But, collectively multiple containers share a common OS Kernel.

It is not even a good draft of an article. Waysidesc (talk) 22:27, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The "OS-level virtualization" moniker was given to the article in question by people who wanted to get rid of "Containerization", because it's somehow "Linux-specific". The technique in question has barely anything in common with actual virtualization, and so "awareness of the conversation in Talk:OS-level virtualization" is the least of these two articles problems.
