    “not running in a container” is not “running on bare metal”. It’s just running outside a container.

      I guess that’s true.

      I’m running it outside of a container and outside a VM… as there’s no abstraction layer on top of the underlying OS. Which I guess is inside the bare metal.

      So, Yep.

        “Bare metal” has traditionally meant without any os either. Your code executes directly on hardware and has direct control over everything. Like a micro controller.

        Code in a container executes on the hardware in exactly my the same way as code not running in a container - with the os as an intermediary.
