&gt; Container hype is running high. Developers have flocked to the technology for more easily packaging applications and running them across various disparate environments.<p>It&#x27;s a hype that should die in a fire bigger than the one reserved for Adobe Flash.<p>Many people will think they can just deploy a shitload of containers and be done... well, each and every single one of them has to be maintained, updated for security fixes...<p>Not to mention the likely possibility of breaking API changes in the container version. vagrant&#x2F;puppet I&#x27;m looking at you, nothing is worse than having to figure out which ancient version of vagrant and puppet was used at creation in order to get the system running again. Or, well, look five years in the future, and hope today&#x27;s hyped container solution will still be present then.<p>Fuck containers, get a properly managed ordinary Debian server and save yourself a lot of headaches.
