I mean, containers are basically just that and people seem to like them just fine.
- ethbro 6y agoPeople seem to like them just fine != People are patching CVEs
- marcinzm 6y agoThat's a question of process and tooling. Plenty of software, OSS and proprietary, which scans containers for vulnerabilities and sends out alerts. There's also dependabot that automatically creates PRs when dependencies get new versions. Sure people may not use the tools they have but then again people also don't upgrade their OS packages or maven packages. So for those people packaging everything doesn't hurt any more since they've got rampant CVEs already.
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoExactly, container is a way to package all these disorganised, chaotic snowflake languages into something you can actually run in a standard way. It full fills the function of an executable, but at a higher level of abstraction. We've come full circle again.
