container or context sounds the same :) it is impossible to feel this
notion naturally without getting into details. IMHO.

We can talk about it separetely :)))

It is quite rare. In IRQ, softIRQ, TCP/IP stack and some timers. Not much.

VPSs can live in clusters. It is good to have one VPS ID space.
