What's the point of "separating services into containers"?

It can make the sysadmin's life easier. For example, we run our CRM tool in a container. When I want to upgrade it, I clone the entire container and run a test upgrade in the isolated environment. Similarly, I can upgrade the Debian release in a test container before doing it for real.

It can be very convenient to have completely isolated user-spaces (and not just for security.)
