If you're doing it right, containers are less like VMs and more like cgroups. If orchestrated correctly it uses less system resources to run lots of services on a single system/node.
That said, I'm a devops/infrastructure/network professional and not a developer, so maybe I'm missing something from the dev experience.... But I love containers.
Docker does kinda suck now, though. Use podman or another interface instead if you can help it.
Stop use docker ( lemmy.world )
