The benefits come from the container being able to share the resources
of the host instead of virtualizing the hardware in it's entirety.
I'm not actually sure how big the benefits are.
I'm dumb I suppose. I'm not following. What Bill said makes the most
sense. Like Wine for Windows apps on Linux, this thing bundles up the
app and all of it's dependancies and resources into a portable
container. You can then run that on any compatible OS? Is there a
server that has to "serve" them?
