Yes this is true and I said that we will definitely see hosting products based on containers. I'm not disputing that point.
You know what the most popular hosting product is right now? It's not VPSes. It's shared hosting. Good old simple shared hosting outsells VPSes by a huge margin.
There's plenty of room for a variety of products, all the way from shared, to VPS, to container based to dedicated servers.
What I took issue with was the original article saying that containers would make VMs a thing of the past, which is silly.
- dedward 13y agoIt is silly - it's apples and oranges. We will still need virtual machines for different operating systems, different versions of the same OS, multiple instances to span multiple VM hosts for scaling/redundancy, and so on. Containers will cut down on the number of VMs we have to deploy within an organisation, nominally... it will be a more effective way to manage resources. VMs won't go away, or even be diminished.
