You have to have a VM to run a _single_ service? You have no multi-application VMs?

  > You have to have a VM to run a _single_ service? This is extremely common, in my experience. (Like it's a default tendency of nature.) So, the VMs example was my previous employer. An yep, not really any multi-app VMs. There were some that did do a couple of things, but it wasn't great: it meant the deployment and dependencies of anything sharing a VM were all interdependent … and often under specified. Painful. It's why Kubernetes exists, really. (Which is funny how much hate it & Docker seem to get on HN.) In my current employ, we do use k8s, and while much runs on it, and it's nice, we still haves some single-service VMs. I'd like to move them all into k8s if at all possible, but it is not always possible. Or it's not always that time gets dedicated to it.
