I guess by your reasoning you could talk about running your nodejs services "on the bare metal" because it's obvious you need a kernel and nodejs too. I think it might be similarly misleading.
- chris_wot 11y agoYou really aren't helping your argument any here. Linux containers use resource and namespace isolation via the Linux kernel. When we talk about "bare metal", we're using shorthand to talk about the difference between a type 1 and type 2 hypervisor, where when we talk about a type 1 hypervisor we are referring to an operating system that does the actual virtualisation work directly, and when we talk about a type 2 hypervisor we are referring to something like VirtualBox that runs on top of a host OS as a seperate process itself and which does the virtualisation work. Linux containers rely on the operating system via cgroups and namespace isolation to do virtualisation. That's bare-metal under ordinary virtualisation terminology.
- nailer 11y ago"Does your node app run in a VM?" "No, because of the heavy IO load we run it on bare metal" Doesn't sound odd to me.

- nailer 11y agoNot quite.
- darkarmani 11y agoThis makes me think you have some kind of nodejs runtime instead of running a linux kernel.
