We run docker on top of aws. So a vm-ish thing on top of a vm. I don't understand why we don't just build custom VM images, which is what I did back when I was handling backend stuff. Now I just observe with a kind of befuddled expression as we experience various live issues that end up being docker caused...
- maattdd 6y agoMirage OS is exploring this idea (building custom VM imagine instead of just a docker container).
- jarym 6y agoVM images typically require more storage, ram and cpu than a container. I know I can run dozens of docker containers but prob nowhere near the same number of VMs
- dilap 6y agobut why run dozens (!) of docker containers vs. having all those things in a single vm image? convenience? security somehow? (genuine question, not rhetorical or trolling.)
