Ops person here, I'm confused what meaningful question this paper is supposed to answer?
Windows is suboptimal for running Linux containers? Sure, Docker on Windows is meant as development tool. If you have Windows Server but need to run Linux containers in production, you should run Hyper-V, install Linux and run container inside that VM.
MacOS has some funkiness for running containers as well that makes me think that's its disk operations are not truly backed. Also, Docker Desktop is again for Development, not actually running it in production since that would be really expensive server.
This entire paper could be a blog article. Did someone need to publish for some reason and threw this out there? What knowledge is being gained here? I WANT TO KNOW.
- wmf 2y agoA tech report that should have been a blog post is a great way to juice your citations. I know because I have done it twice. Development performance does matter in situations where, for example, you're running an elaborate test suite on your laptop. In that case they should also test OrbStack though.
