Am I the only one which thinks the docker vs vm slide is just wrong as there is nothing running on the docker daemon at all and even super simple docker pics on docker Inc. always talk about the docker engine as abstraction between os and container. This also lacks a bit but is a way better analogy for all the Linux namespacing cgroups etc. Which habens in reality on the kernel. The daemon doesn't run anything at all but maintaines state.
IMHO this are the kind of simplifications which just make people more confused about a complex topic like that on the long run
And in addition the last points are also applying fully to micro vms but are shown as great benefit of docker. I can't like it unfortunately
I did and its fantastic if u use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) which let's u actually just use a headless Ubuntu within windows seemless integrated.
Looks interesting. Can you go into some detail on what your workflow is like? Is your dev environment pure Linux then, able to install everything in aptitude, etc?
This is the real issue with WSL. I also tried to move to Windows with WSL but any heavy IO operations (npm install for example) that would take < 1 minute natively took 10 minutes on WSL. I thought I could just use virtual machines within Windows instead, but every configuration I tried had short comings and I just couldn't get a productive work environment up and running so I've switched back to Mac.
