1) "Containers are a lightweight virtualization technology."

   -- ok

2) "They are more akin to an enhanced chroot than to full
virtualization like Qemu
or VMware, both because they do not emulate hardware and because
containers share the same operating system as the host."

   -- ok

3) "Therefore containers are better compared to Solaris zones or BSD jails. ..."

   -- ORLY? How about zones and jails by themseves are "more like
chroot" and not "full virtualization".

   IOW, zones / jails / LXC are all the same approach, contrary to
"full virtualization".
