> Unless dependencies are already there. Then needlessly separating them into containers just makes the system have a higher overhead and have a higher fragility. Advantages to the Docker approach are that the dependencies are explicitly exposed and you can homogenize your file systems. Ideally you're getting rid of using files in the first place. Unless you're using local storage on AWS, you're already going over the network. > There is already software that does it. It is init, systemd and others. It's hard to disagree that the old systems aren't more mature. They aren't as ready for distributing processes though. And that's where most everything is headed anyway.
