I've been actively using Docker for most of my projects over the past few years and I sincerely thank you for brainstorming and getting it out in the market.

The sole idea of containerising an application, its utils and dependencies all into one container is a real big deal in early 2010s. The product has been so visionary that it has been re-pivoted as secure sandboxes which is most needed right now. Kudos!

The main primitives that underlie Docker were originally intended to facilitate security and isolation. Docker's innovation was combining filesystem-in-a-box with those security primitives, and delivering all those capabilities with highly intelligible UX. That's not meant to minimize; I think those are monumental (and monumentally impactful) achievements. But there was no "re-pivot" to secure sandbox isolation; that's what things like cgroups and namespaces were created for!
