Since they're lighter weight it's easier to run more of them. Think of a place with 7-8 different applications, a few different DBs to support them, redis, elastic search, etc. You can spin up a mirror of your production environment with one command. Theoretically you can do the same with VMs but it will consume a lot more resources.
- nly 6y agoThis is only true of Docker on Linux hosts.
- treis 6y agoEven on Windows/Mac you're probably better off running 1 VM and then docker inside of it.
- scoopertrooper 6y agoIsn't that essentially what mac Docker Desktop does?
- IggleSniggle 6y agoCorrect.
