The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

An updated performance comparison of virtual machines and Linux containers (2015, background): “Workloads that used to be considered very challenging, like line-rate 10 Gbps networking, are now possible using only a single core using 2013-era hardware and software.”
