Clarifying above: VMs, containers, and MicroVMs are all a box to run code and some surrounding orchestration mechanisms to standardize and make configuration portable.
They're all part of the same generation of tech - portable instances. This is a leap over having physical servers, but a mild improvement over each other. Think git vs mercurial - the difference isn't significant enough to move from one to the other.
Serverless, for example, would be a leap over the instance model.
