Sorry for the confusion JVM = Java Virtual Machine, RVM = Ruby Virtual Machine, PVM = Python Virtual Machine. What I was trying to point out the layers of vitalization just to run an application. Docker is yet another layer on top of the operating system (a virtual machine running inside an operating system inside an operating system possible ect).
- regularfry 12y agoAh, ok. I can see where you're coming from, but I don't really think of Docker as being an extra layer on top. It's more a way of rearranging the OS layer itself along a certain axis. The cognitive overhead is similar to a virtualisation layer though, so that point stands.
