Fuchsia is a new (non-Linux) operating system from Google, and one of
the key pieces of Fuchsia's design is the component framework.
Components on Fuchsia have many similarities with some of the
container solutions on Linux (such as Docker): they both fetch
content addressed blobs from the network, assemble those blobs into
an isolated filesystem structure that holds all the dependencies
necessary to run some piece of software, and launch namespaced
processes with that created directory as its root.

The most interesting details are where these two projects diverge.
Both have different use cases and requirements, which leads to
different strengths between the systems. This talk will largely be
focusing on where and why these two similar technologies diverge.
