Containers offer many benefits over virtual machines, they are still in their initial stages. There are many aspects that need to be worked on before containers can fully replace virtual machines. Virtual machines came with the concept of virtualization and literally changed the way datacenters used to operate in the past.
In addition to that, virtual machines were great for application and software developers because they could now build their applications on their computers using a virtual machine if certain dependencies of the application made it incompatible with the operating system they were using on their computers. http://www.international-issues.org/2016/11/are-virtual-machines-fading-away-due-to-containers/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
