Remember that 90% (a number that is completely take out of thin air, but a large majority) of deployments are not what we see on HN, lobsters etc.
They don't understand why you would have a VM, let alone a container.
I have seen feature requests recently for zero downtime migrations of containers, as "some apps cannot be stopped and started" - that is how enterprise sees containers.
- AstralStorm 10y agoHate to break it to you, but for high performance only specialised hardware works. Sometimes even only local hardware. Or even a full cluster that only uses VMs or containers as a nice migration of availability layer. Internet bandwidth and latencies kill clouds while there is no real gain to be had by running multiple heavy compute services on one machine. (as much as certain gpgpu companies want you to believe) Bare metal superceded, ha. It is just augmented with an availability layer.
