I'm not sure I get this - are you saying that you are more at risk due to the VM host layer?


Personally, I'd reasonably trust Xen or KVM or something else with hardware-based virtualization and the like to protect me in an multi-tenancy scenario. Much less so in the case of Docker. Sharing a full kernel with potentially malicious actors is more risky than sharing a hypervisor, much more surface area for attack.
