Michael Preston shares his thoughts on containers in a post titled “A VMware guy’s perspective on containers.” I know that a lot of my readers are VMware-centric in their jobs and careers, so I think Michael’s post may be helpful to a lot of folks. This is all unsupported stuff, of course, but that hasn’t stopped home-labbers before.
