Using a VM vs. Deploying a Container
- VMs are deployed once, and then can be modified to install new software
- You need to save "snapshots" to use your latest images
- Storage is always persistent, and you can usually add extra volumes
- VMs can support many workloads, such as running Docker or Kubernetes clusters
- 👀 Docs for the VM install script
- App Platforms deploy code-server containers, and are often rebuilt
- App platforms can shut down when you are not using it, saving you money
- All software and dependencies need to be defined in the
Dockerfileor install script so they aren't destroyed on a rebuild - Storage may not be redundant. You may have to use rclone to store your filesystem on a cloud service
