Containers at the edge: it’s not what you think, or maybe it is

This post introduces the capability to run containers at the edge, complementing the existing isolate-based model for edge compute. It details the rationale for using containers for legacy systems and specific applications like browser isolation, contrasting it with the benefits of isolates for distributed systems. The post also discusses the challenges of migrating containerized workloads to the edge and the potential for cold starts and state management complexities.
