Rethinking the dividing lines between containers and VMs
Briefly

The article discusses the evolving relationship between containers and virtual machines (VMs), debunking the notion that they are in direct competition. While containers offer speed and simplicity, VMs provide enhanced security and workload isolation. Rather than being obsolete, VMs continue to play a crucial role in enterprise settings. The piece argues that instead of a divide, a blend of both technologies is emerging, highlighting their coexistence in modern cloud-native architectures and continuous evolution in enterprise infrastructure.
The most interesting false dichotomy today is the supposed line between virtual machines (VMs) and containers. The reality is the two worlds are coming closer together.
Monolithic application architectures sometimes prevail despite modern theology around microservices. On-prem data centers have not been extinguished by public clouds.
