Thanks. Any idea about this?

Forking works fine.

Hmm... if there's no kernel, who manages the process scheduling?

There is a kernel, Docker uses the host's kernel it runs on.

It uses the host OS kernel, which is why its limited to a subset of Linux host machines.

Honestly Docker is the epitome of the incorrect understanding of "DevOps".
