No, you're not looking to understand. You're looking to persuade.
What do you mean?
I think this is like sepi's response but less polite
I see. There is no disrespect intended, because it is a discussion thread starter. My question about this is: what would be the better phrasing for the subject matter of this post? Either way, discussion seems to be going great. Cheers all, because it isn't a discussion of what is better: it is a general curiosity for people running bare metal, because it seems to receive zero discussion. I am glad to see such people responding, positive or negative.
I think people are assuming you want to convert people to The Church of Docker, in their minds, if you know what I mean. I do not see it that way, but "what is stopping you from using virtualization" has such a tone as if everyone is supposed to virtualize, but something prevents them and they can't.
I think a better way to ask it would be "what are your reasons for sticking with bare metal?" or something like that.
sidenote: to me it seems some people here have quite bad experiences with docker. I mean it has parts I don't like either, but I never had so many problems with it and I'm hosting a dozen of web services locally. maybe their experience was from the early days?
