I don't understand why anyone would say to give up containers and just use Zones or VMs? Containers are solving a very real problem. The problem is that containers weren't as well marketed before Docker (or as user friendly).
- betaby 10y agoContainers were incredibly popular in the hosting industry for a long time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuozzo_(company) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuozzo_(company) at that time SWsoft and their Virtuozzo hosting platform Docker marketed container idea to the different audience.
- solidsnack9000 10y agoMany people's use case for containers is more or less identical to that of Zones/VMs -- they aren't sharing anything across containers.
- cthalupa 10y agoThe majority of use cases for containers seem to be as more of a deployment and/or scheduling solution and less of an overlap with the use cases for virtualization.
- hueving 10y agoBecause the vast majority of use cases are already solved by zones/VMs.
