The question above for the most part, been reading up on it. Also want to it for learning purposes.

    What’s the smallest container around? How much RAM would that take?

    edit: FROM scratch let’s you run bare binaries on Docker.

    Would be very interesting to see how far that could get. What sort of payload/task would be interesting for all those containers?

      Doesn’t need to be a “traditional” container. Modulo noisy-neighbour issues, wasm sandboxing could potentially offer an order of magnitude better density (depending on what you’re running; this might be more suited to specific tasks than providing a substrate for a general-purpose conpute service).

        wasm sandboxes can take IPs? Regardless, if we’re just talking density, I can put multiple IPs on a single interface or create a ton of virtual interfaces. That’s boring, though.
