Hi Brian,

If you think it is insufficiency of Docker then perhaps one may want to
look at how things are done in other Languages such as Go and so on? I just
don't why Java is targeted all the time when I hear from people saying "No
one puts Java in a container". My mind immediately thinks is it only Java
or any VM based language.

thanks,
kant
