FreeBSD is currently suffering quite a lot from the lack of any solid story here. The vast majority of cloud deployments are now using some combination of Docker and Kubernetes or equivalents to spin up a large number of VMs and an even larger number of microservice containers within them. This should be something that FreeBSD is ideal for - jails preform better and provide a more coherent interface than the mess of cgroups and seccomp-bpf that Linux containers use. It *ought* to be trivial to create a jail that has basically nothing other than the core libraries (and maybe a shell) and is managed from the outside. Even the few FreeBSD core utilities that support jails don't really work like this (for example, I can use pkg to install something in a jail, but doing so implicitly installs a copy of the pkg tool inside the jail and invokes that).
