Because Docker just makes more sense. Why should I run multiple versions of the whole OS for near-to-identical setups? That is just a waste of resources. Docker makes much more sense when you have multiple applications you want in separate instances on the same stack. There benefits far outweigh the disadvantages in my experience.
- octix 12y agoYes, I can see a great deal of benefits for development part, _if_ you're sticking with the same OS. Currently I have a bunch VMs (using kvm/qemu + libvirt) that are created and dropped as needed. The biggest advantages I see is that I can create a near identical environment with our VPSs... + I can test different OSs too (Linuxe vs *BSD). My current pain point is the hdd space, since I have to resize VMs storage when needed. Even though it was automated, but still I'd prefer to use some shared hdd space and not to worry about it.
