Why use k8s over just a docker container?

• zer00eyz 3y ago
  Dont deploy docker in production. Podman. You could but why all the extra overhead?

    Docker has no overhead on the Linux kernel. It just runs things for you via LXC. The overhead is no different from any other process.

      The last time I checked docker was libcontainer and not running lxc any longer. Libcontaier lxc all use the same api calls to the kernel... so in effect your still correct (mostly) They all have overhead, if you're starting to use their features... cgroups can have some very funny impacts on app performance more so if your running containers ontop of a linux install over a hypervisor vs nix on hardware.

  Just use a base OS that has what you need? :D

    Was asking seriously. Haven't had the opportunity to use k8s but I've used container hosting elsewhere so I'm curious why k8s specifically.

    Yes, do that 99% of the time actually.
