Virtual machines, containers and appliances all require very short boot times, because they may be created and booted frequently.



Sometimes it feels as if these would be better served with the age old DOS flat files than something as convoluted as a *nix init.

This because if a "service"/daemon fails to come up, you may as well scuttle the whole VM/container/appliance and spin up another in its place.
