I don't use Docker. I have not encountered any use cases where it seemed<br>
appropriate. My (admittedly uninformed) impression is that Docker is<br>
sofa-surfing for software. <br>
<br>
Serious question: how does putting Ingres (or any other enterprise<br>
service) in a container make it better? Why is a dedicated VM in the<br>
cloud inferior? Note that I am asking about enterprise services. I<br>
can think of all kinds of apps where Docker makes sense.<br>
<br>
If anyone can answer I would learn a lot I think.<br>
<br>
All that said, I am sure Ingres can be packaged in a Docker container<br>
if you are convinced it is the way to go. <br>
