I didn't say it was a "beefy machine".
Containers are interesting, but I don't think they are mature enough
right now to tell everyone "don't install things as you have in the
last 10 years, you must use containers".
I tend to agree, containers are awesome as a concept but I think are
still immature.
Both implementation and tooling still falls short, and make the machine
a lot more complex and difficult to understand than you need in the
simple cases.
Simo.
