So someone turned Docker into an online service. Interesting. It seems promising, though not yet mature. For every day computing the cost still seems high however, and I worry about security. Still, it smacks of the future.
- Alupis 12y agoDocker is not a VM and should not be treated as such.
- tristansa 12y agoDoesn't look like this has anything to do with Docker. It's more like lipstick on a full blown hypervisor.
- ljlolel 12y agoYou are right that we don't use Docker, but we also don't use hypervisors which are too slow. We are a lot faster than a hypervisor. Our machines start in 5 seconds. Neither can resize a machine up and down live without a reboot. None of them can do RAM snapshots.
- mrmondo 12y agoMore info on underlying tech please
- dshankar 12y agoI'd love to learn more about the tech stack. Any blog posts I can refer to? How come you decided not to use Docker for something like this? Seems perfectly suited.
- spartango 12y agoYour demos show impressive speed in booting, machine resizing, and snapshotting. Kudos. With that said, several hypervisors do support hot-resizing, snapshotting, and cross machine migration. Xen has excellent hot resize support, where VMWare has pushed hard for live migration and proper snapshotting over the years.
- waitingkuo 12y agoIt starts very fast! Is it based on lxc? or some other container?
