In Alpha2, the local container type was introduced. Currently there are two implementations:
The term local is defined as:

It's true in most cases that the container is going to be on the same machine. However, with the proper SSH setup, it's possible that a command could be issued to start a container on a remote server. The focus here is not on the fact that the container is local, but that it's lifecycle is managed.
I propose we rename these containers as follows:
I'm open to another name as well, but I don't think that local is appropriate for this purpose.
