Do you use any other virtualization software along side HyperV? We have a lot of legacy stuff that integrates with VirtualBox, but wanted to start edging towards Docker.
However, when I last spent a couple of sprints attempting to get them working side-by-side, it was a pretty big failure. I couldn't get VirtualBox 6.0 running without falling back to soft virtualization which was painfully slow (booting a Ubuntu box took the better part of an hour).
- yonixw 6y agoWhy not using HyperV itself instead of Vbox?
- ajford 6y agoBecause of a lot of existing internal tools that directly call and manage VBox to set up local testing environments and stacks. It's a planned initiative for the future, but it means a fundamental change in a number of tools and would require a rather large set of rewrites. On top of that, out of the large pool of users, only a small handful would actually need to run Docker side-by-side with these tools, meaning that it's a huge rewrite to allow a small number of people to use Docker on their desktops. That ultimately means it's getting very little traction and keeps getting pushed down the backlog.
