Can I Turn a VM into a Container?

In this clip I answer a question about if it's possible to migrate or containerize, a VM into a container.

I think there's some confusion here. Bret, at 0:50, you read "Is there any well-known way to containerize a legacy VM based **ON** monolithic application" but, what I believe the OP wanted to ask is "Is there any well-known way to containerize a legacy, VM-based, monolithic application". Basically, a legacy application that runs on a VM. The question was never about containerizing the VM but the application instead. OP made mistakes of using the article 'a' with the plural 'applications' and not using commas at proper places.

Hmm, I think my answer is still the same 🤓

Hey Bret, I'm currently in school for IT and preparing to start taking certs. You sound like you know your stuff! Do you have any advice on any certs or other information I should focus on? I want to be an expert. Not just your typical IT guy.

@@medilies Surround yourself with people who are willing to answer your questions, be precise. I took my CCNA however, the few hours I worked with an extremely talented CCIE was exponentially greater than the entirety of my CCNA, by a factor of about 10.

Hi, is there any tool which will convert whole VM into a container , I know its not a best practice but is there a way , in this scenario container size doesn't matter i just need to convert whole VM into a container.

[@pranavkoritala]

This can be done by using rancher.
