The actual reason Docker exists:
Hi I am your customer from BigCorp we are running your software with <unsupported dependency that is 4 major versions out of date> because <other product you have never heard of> requires it. Also our anti-virus keeps deleting some dlls in your product. Why isn't it working?
There is no bottom to corporate IT incompetence...
@LariscusObscurus
And what came from this?
"Hi customer, this is BigCorp. You filed a support case about our <software 1> regarding a bug in the webui. We noticed that your container is running on Podman and this is not supported. We only support our container running on Docker. Ticket close/unsupported"
Funfact about <software 2> from BigCorp: It is only supported when running on Podman and they don't support Docker.
And no, I don't make this up, this is a real life example from my work at corporate IT!

@DigitalInfinity @LariscusObscurus @sjvn sure... or parallelization ( but that's Isolation again, I guess...)
Anyway, and I forgot to add this: 😉
Also, I'm not an IT professional at all.
@LariscusObscurus Your product ships with DLLs?
We got a saying: Who live in a house made of glass should not throw stones.
