Hi Thiago, IMO - no - docker is not a "replacement for VMs". Docker can be used to isolate (and with it make them also transportable) applications from the underlying OS and other apps running on that same host.
Imagine you have a EC2 / RackSpace instance - they charge X per VM instance whether or not you use its CPU 100% of the time, seems like a waste of money ... with docker, you can make sure that you utilise that instance more efficiently. E.g. run 2 apps that need completely different dependencies on the same instance w/o the need to worry about system libs being screwed with as they are fully isolated from each other. Hope this makes a little sense ? :) Alex On 26 August 2014 20:35, Martinx - ジェームズ <thiagocmarti...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Stackers!
