Because it is leased VMs at commercial cloud providers,
which implies an economic benefit to reuse a single VM
for multiple daemons.

To me, containers are a simplified virtualization technology
that shares the kernel and kernel state, virtualizing only
the user space.  That it is marketed with contrary words
means nothing.

So back to Linux-exclusive concepts, indicating this is
all about using the Linux build with a Linux-on-windows layer,

Hence my preference to reverse the order and go for a pure (and cheaper) 
Linux VM.
