I'm curious if it is easier to understand and maintain than some standalone virtual machine.Regarding the ESXi I'm looking for some free solution, because this will be a home server.In the case of ZFS, is Linux stable for production nowadays? I've read and appear to be in very good condition now.
I also haven't using Xen :-) so I searched it, and it seems like that +------------------+ | application | +------------------+ | Docker | | Xen | | KVM | +------------------+ | hardware machine | +------------------+Docker has higher utilization rate of resources, such as memory and hard disk sharing, and KVM isolation is more thorough. So Docker is on application layer, and it is easier to manage a bunch of application containers.
If you prefer standalone virtual machine, KVM and Xen is better.But I'm not sure which is better between KVM and Xen, seems KVM is more widely used at present.
And I forgot ESXi need a license key for your multi core machine, sorry. -- bobwxc F645 5C7A 08E8 A637 24C6 D59E 36E9 4EAB B53E 516B
