introduction: motivate the scope of the essay (why containerization and the role of containerization in DevOps?).

Action: Moved "2.2 Containers and DevOps" to the introduction "1.1 The Role of Containerization in DevOps.

innovative: to increase the novelty of your essay, you can explore some original reflections about containerization technologies and emphasize one particularly novel aspect of the considered tool

No action: We did not address this as this wasn't the purpose of our essay.

figures: you give a figure but not reference it in your text. Please reference and explain the figure in the text.

Action: We now reference and explain this figure in paragraph "2.1 Relation to Virtualization".

sound: the essay shall include a comprehensive comparison of containerization technologies. Please rewrite Section 4. It would be great to have a table to compare these technique wrt different aspects.

Action: This section had majority of the changes. We agreed that a table is a great way to visualize the differences between the technologies, so we added one! We also modified some paragraphs and added information regarding performance.

conclusion: what's the take-away for the readers and practitioners? What's your actionable suggestions for choosing a specific container technology?

Action We were kinda vague at first. This is now fixed and we concretely point the reader to a specific technology, given a few parameters.

reference: the quality of reference could be improved by citing at least one scientific papers in addition the tech posts from websites.

The previous version had two scientific paper [4], [13] (in the old essay), but we also added two more: [16], [17].
