Does it come with the downsides of standard VMs? (Dedicated resources like memory and CPU cores, virtual disk images.)


Yes, though since it's a "micro" VM, it shouldn't take up nearly as many resources as a regular VM. Some hypervisors also implement memory ballooning to not take up memory that's not being used, but I'm not sure whether Docker Sandbox's hypervisor implements that.
