Orchestration is more than just configuring individual instances, but rather being able to deploy your entire app which may include instances, load balancers, lambdas, data stores and/or other infrastructure.
No I mean why use Ansible and Puppet when you can create clean workloads from a docker image.
They said they’re using VMs over Docker for better security control
Interesting! I haven't used VMs in a while due to being fully sucked into the world of Docker, but isn't VM configuration at the point you can do something similar to a Dockerfile to run? Or is it easier to go from Dockerfile -> VM?
Ah gotcha. Thanks. Missed that.
We use Ansible to configure and deploy containers in many cases. Dockerfiles and container images aren’t really doing the same thing as configuration management.
