Docker has always used microVMs (well since 2016)

One reason I think a distinction is made is that native Docker-in-Docker can be a real pain, but Docker in a Firecracker microVM "just works".

Is all of docker one “micro” VM though? Or does each container get a clean, fresh one?

It’s all one lightweight VM. Containers share the VM’s kernel.
