    It depends on the container I suppose. There are some that are very difficult to rebuild depending on what’s in it and what it does. Some very complex software can be ran in containers.

      Yep, some people sort of miss the point of microservices and make some fairly monolithic containers. Or they’re legacy apps being shoehorned into a container. Some things still require handholding. FreeIPA is a good example. They have a container version, but it’s just a monolithic install in a container and only recommended for testing.
