What exactly would be gained by using VMs, assuming that there were no performance problem?
- Joeri 15y agoTwo reasons: - Easy migration between hardware configurations of a running system. - Snapshots to revert quicker after a failed upgrade / change. (Typically in addition to traditional backups.)
