If your thinking of the <machine> tag from ROS1 launch.xml format, I think that tag was used for launching remote node on remote ssh hosts.

A more appropriate method for launching ros nodes in containers on remote host would be to use a container orchestration tool, or something as simple as docker-compose.yaml with the docker client pointed at a remote host. E.g.:
