Re: [AFMUG] OT: VMs are sooo 2014...

I honestly thought Docker /was/ a container VM.  Maybe I have a 
misconception?

So just like a VM conatiner like VMWare running on the host pc, but 
instead of running Operating Systems inside you run APPs that have 
been "APP-ified."

    The benefits come from the container being able to share the
    resources of the host instead of virtualizing the hardware in it's
    entirety.

    I'm not actually sure how big the benefits are.


    I'm dumb I suppose. I'm not following. What Bill said makes the
    most sense. Like Wine for Windows apps on Linux, this thing
    bundles up the app and all of it's dependancies and resources
    into a portable container. You can then run that on any
    compatible OS? Is there a server that has to "serve" them?
