Using includeOS with an application would require installation as an OS, whether on a VM or bare metal. Either way, it would take up many resources. This would be great if the application is a resource heavy app and thus would mostly utilise most/all resources. But for most apps this isn't the case. Hence they're better to be in containers so that multiple applications can be run.
I'm thinking as an alternative to CoreOS or COS. These OSs will likely have a relatively high overhead in comparison to IncludeOS should such an OS exists.
- convolvatron 7y agoI don't quite understand. certainly if you install it on bare metal there isn't any sharing..but I assume with a virtual machine you can multiplex a large number of instances to share the resources of the underlying machine?
- fwsgonzo 7y agoYes, that is indeed how it has been used the most right now
