Containerization / Image Complexity
Kind: tension
Record: tension:containerization-image-complexity
Canonical: Schema
"containerization" (resource-core layer) is traded against "Image Complexity" (resource-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Image Complexity" and choosing an explicit operating point.
Listed in Tensions, after Environment Parity / Cost and before Infrastructure as Code / Tooling Complexity.
