Hello Jon, No strong opinion on my side, but I'd just like to notice that there might be cases where multiple interfaces, in linux, have the same name, if they are in different network namespaces. VPP could literally control the back-end of thousands of containers' interfaces, all called eth0.
Well your backend and your frontend device names are typically named different. You are correct in that frontend device in the container is always eth0, the backend device for each container's eth0 is uniquely named in the default network namespace.
