Kubernetes Essentials Course: VMs vs Containers | Solving Deployment Challenges

[@VolkerHett]

I have some doubts about portability of containers. When I have to move a docker container from one host to another, I backup all data from the container, create a new container on the other host and restore the data. Trying to find all the containers files and transfering them to the other host never worked for me. Importing a VWmware VM into Proxmox or Virtualbox is a walk in the park compared to this. I'll hope Kubernetes will solve this, I do like the Idea of containers.

Yeah we'll see it later in the course how we can leverage several implementations of the Container Storage Interface (CSI) to manage our persistence. If you want to read ahead of time, a lightweight solution is Longhorn which is what I use in my home lab. It takes care of creating multiple copies of a volume in different nodes allowing pods (and containers) to be scheduled in any node even if they require persistence. Hope this helps

Yeah, I totally agree. It's a new feature from KZbin and it surely needs refinement!
