Cloud providers have standardized on VMs. If I were to deploy an app in the cloud using bare metal servers, I would lose all of the infrastructure, convenience and tooling provided to be by my cloud provider (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, etc).
This is the strongest argument for me to continue to use containers on top of VMs.
If someone can provide me a secure, convenient, low-cost way to run my own containers on bare metal, I would be very interested. Does such a thing exist?
- testvox 8y agoAWS bare metal servers are pretty nice and you can use them with AWS's container management systems. > Bare Metal instances are full-fledged members of the EC2 family and can take advantage of Elastic Load Balancing, Auto Scaling, Amazon CloudWatch, Auto Recovery, and so forth. They can also access the full suite of AWS database, IoT, mobile, analytics, artificial intelligence, and security services. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amazon-ec2-bare-metal-instances-with-direct-access-to-hardware/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amazon-ec2-bare-metal-i...
