I’m definitely interested in any data/info on this line of thinking. Note, there are some benefits to VMs - that generally lean towards scaling as the biggest factor. Meaning performance comparisons aren’t 1:1. I’m sure network (soft/hard) infrastructure is a big factor as well.

Bare metal is 8 cores each, 24 GB RAM and 2 x 750 GB drives. That said, I've always wondered if there would be any benefit to virtualization. Bare-metal install. VMs with 1 to 4 cores each. Docker on bare-metal. Docker on VMs. Has anyone done such analysis? If so, I'd like to know what was found out.
