Desktop versionhttps://justthecloud.com/docker-on-vsphere-photon-osDocker on vSphere – Photon OS | JustTheCloudThere has been a lot of talk about Docker, Containers, vSphere Integrated containers etc. It can be quite confusing, even to someone who has worked in the industry for a long time. Before I build on my vSphere VIC install post here, I thought it would be a good idea to explain some of the fundamentals of our ever changing virtual landscape. Some of this you may know, some it you may not, but it will hopefully be a good refresh either way. What is a Virtual Machine? On Wikipedia a Virtual Machine (VM) is defined as an emulation of a computer system which provides the functionality of a physical computer and for that to run it needs to be hosted on a Hypervisor (Type 1 for native or bare-metal - ESXi, Type 2 or hosted on hypervisors – VMware Workstation). In essence we take a physical machine and move it entirely into software, so that to a degree, the hardware layer ceases to matter, and you can have true mobility and high availability, migrating across compatible hardware.
