This is probably more common than you think. VMs are expensive, both in resources and cost (if you’re using something commercial). OS-level isolation (shared kernel, cgroups, namespaces) is used pervasively

Modern VMs, e.g. using Firecracker shouldn't be that expensive. I think it's crazy that Kubernetes doesn't use a VM per pod model, especially since it was started by security conscious google.
