How is this the top comment? I'm sure some of your points may be salient, but practical experience says virtualization works just fine for production. Same with the JVM.
- dschiptsov 14y ago1. at what cost? 2. just fine is not enough. 3. for some reasons all sites uses nginx, not jetty.)
- lemieux 14y agoNginx and jetty are not the same thing. Nginx is a web server optimized to deliver content. Jetty is an application server built to run the applications. Both can be used together. Also...Is Amazon EC2 considered virtualization for you?
- BigRedS 14y agoJust fine is just fine for me, actually.
- sspiff 14y ago"just fine" is something all companies I have dealt with would agree with, at least when it comes to servers. Running closer to the metal often means higher development costs, which vastly outweigh the performance overhead abstraction layers they incur. You're right about some things getting messed up by virtualization, but you're over-estimating the impact this has on running an online service.
- sspiff 14y agoI agree with you. I don't understand how this comment got so high with such short-sighted arguments, I would expect people here to have a little more insight.
