The Containerization of Linux - LUG

[@davidswanson9269]

From a safety and security perspective, I love the idea of virtual machines, immutable atomic distributions and containerization. Nothing sucks more than breaking the OS and having to do a reinstall, however, with the immutables, presto, blink of an eye, snapshot to the rescue! Application container technology is fantastic as the developer has their perfect environment and can deploy their creation to multiple OS environments without issue theoretically. The (WOMM) is dead - Works On My Machine.

I have a dumb question. File permissions was mentioned in software containers. The chmod that changes file permissions, does this have any effect on what software see’s or does software sit on a layer that has access to everything on the system. Not sure how to really ask the question other than how permissions are handled between software.
