Writing installable software doesn't help with isolation, self healing and scalability. In a microservice world you kind of need Docker/Kubernetes.
- abc_lisper 3y agoUm. VMs were doing the thing you said before there was Docker
- marcosdumay 3y agoHum... Docker isn't a great solution for isolation (it can do some of it, it promises way more than it can do). Your system's scalability is completely defined by how you architect it, and Docker changes nothing. And WTF is self healing? Docker can't fix any ops problem that it didn't create.
- apienx 3y agoAgreed. Could you please share your thoughts on the best current solution for isolation? Thanks in advance!
- marcosdumay 3y agoVMs are designed to provide isolation. Docker depends on what Linux provides, and Linux puts less and less importance on it as the time passes.
- jasode 3y ago>And WTF is self healing? Docker can't fix any ops problem that it didn't create. The gp you replied to mentioned both "Docker/Kubernetes" It's the Kubernetes management layer of Docker-style containers (in pods) that helps with monitoring and restarts: https://www.google.com/search?q=kubernetes+self-healing https://www.google.com/search?q=kubernetes+self-healing
