Can someone help me understand whether this is:
- My app per the Dockerfile
- Container
- Firecracker VM
Or:
- My app per the Dockerfile
- Firecracker VM
Thanks!
- NathanKP 4y agoThe latter. If you typed `docker ps` on your host there would be nothing showing up. The application is running inside of a micro VM. It should also be noted that containerized processes that are running on a host will still show up on the host's process tree if you look at the output of `ps`, `htop` or similar commands. Containers aren't real boundaries, just namespaces on the host machine. This is the not the case when using Ignite, as the process from the container image is running in an actual micro VM, rather than running on the host inside of a namespace
- nailer 4y agoThanks for the answer. Oh then this is awesome. The convenience of Docker images with the proper isolation of MicroVMs.
