   Anyone using Docker who can tell me in 140 why it's better than just VMs?

     I thought each app had its own kernel. I guess I should read up. Or try it at home.

     I like the new avatar, btw. It makes me think of Spring.

     I should play with it. I'm in an environment where it would be great to spin up light weight app containers quickly.

     Yes, Stevie J V-N is usually worth reading. That article reflects what I've read elsewhere as well.

     So to summarize, VMs are better (isolation, security), but containers let you cram more apps into a physical server and may be faster.

     And of course container apps are very "in" now.
