Containers certainly have their uses, but what I think will happen is hardware will become better and better at virtualisation just as the (K)VM software will become better.
LXC is good for stuff like OpenShift (PAAS), but for "VPS" offerings the VM will continue to reign supreme.
- zb 13y agoActually, OpenShift doesn't use LXC (it uses SELinux to separate gears) because containers are not secure in the way that VMs are.
- lil_cain 13y agoIn the near future, it'll use kernel namespacing (like LXC) and SELinux.
- alinspired 13y agoI agree about VMs for VPS offering. But i believe no improvements in hardware or (para)virtualization will get VMs closer to Containers in other (non-VPS) scenarios
