This is way slower than Docker. Rootless containers are already a thing. If you still want VMs then see Kata Containers. Containers have a lot of benefits, the major one for me is reproducibility and application sandboxing. There is a reason containers exist and that every large cloud platform has adopted them, including Microsoft adding support in Windows.

Well, that's the complaiing that you can't get an an Uber because you did not download an app. It is sort of funny because every single shop that is "oh containers!" either creates them manually ( slow and painfully ) or just uses random ones developers find. > There is a reason containers exist and that every large cloud platform has adopted them, including Microsoft adding support in Windows. It is the same reason why Whole Foods sells sushi: that's teh way to sell salmon for $85/lb to hipsters. Hipsters hate buying salmon for $22/lb but they love the rolls.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Creating a container image doesn't have to be slow. There are a lot of tools to help with this that provide things like caching. If I find a container image, the first thing I do is look at the Dockerfile to see if it follows best practices, and if it is secure and lightweight. A lot of the official images on Docker Hub are pretty good. Creating a VM image is going to be slower than Docker period. > It is the same reason why Whole Foods sells sushi: that's teh way to sell salmon for $85/lb to hipsters. Hipsters hate buying salmon for $22/lb but they love the rolls. I don't know what this has to do with anything. Besides, I thought hipsters would be vegan.
