Getting an exorbitant bill from DigitalOcean after someone has abused your "containers" would not concern you then?

You can "test the theory behind ownership semantics" without relying on the intricacies of a C++11 construct (however trivial).
I don't quite resonate with the analogy here. It's about using the right tool for the job. Most small-scale personal projects, by their very definition, don't require an orchestration framework.
