- VMs are deployed once, and then can be modified to install new software
- You need to save "snapshots" to use your latest images
- Storage is always persistent, and you can usually add extra volumes
- VMs can support many workloads, such as running Docker or Kubernetes clusters
- 👀 Docs for the VM install script
- Deployed containers do not persist, and are often rebuilt
- Containers can shut down when you are not using them, saving you money
- All software and dependencies need to be defined in the
Dockerfileor install script so they aren't destroyed on a rebuild. This is great if you want to have a new, clean environment every time you code - Most app platforms do not support running docker or virtual volume mounts in the container.
- Storage may not be persistent. You may have to use rclone to store your filesystem on a cloud service. Documented below:
