That's enough abstraction.
- wmf 14y agoOriginally, yes. Unfortunately Unix/Windows has accumulated a ton of global state (libfoo 3.7.1 not parallel installable with libfoo 3.6.4) and enterprise software is now so fragile that any alternative to VM sprawl is unthinkable.
- hp50g 14y agoWe run our software (and other "enterprise" software) multiple instances per node and they are fully isolated. Most is in JVMs but we have C++ stuff with no problems.
