You may have noticed a few of my posts here, I am very interested in self-hosting and what advice can you give to a newbie? maybe some literature, video, I don’t know~
Yes, that’s a valid use case. But the enterprise is also moving to containers because the big tech companies are pushing them into it. What people forget is that containerization also makes splitting hardware and billing customers very easy for cloud providers, something that was a real pain before.

Amazon was in the infrastructure business well before containers were the “big thing”.
What are you even claiming? Billing is the same ease VM or container.
Cgroups became a thing in 2004 and then Google and Amazon started container offerings in 2008.
And you don’t even need docker there are plenty of alternative engines.
