To be fair this is a standard feature of Linux Control Groups that's existed for years now. For more info on how that works, see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt

Cgroups and namespaces. Even though some namespaces are nested (typically, the PID namespace) why others don't need to be.

There is nothing special with nesting cgroups and namespaces from the kernel point of view. The interesting part is to work around the little details (as anybody who ran nested LXC containers will know) :-)
