If the app is 24x7, a VM may not be the best option; the VM has its own OS and app failure modes, and now you have added any failure modes of the VM software as well as the failure modes of the hosting OS. Really depends on if "24/7" means "24/7 with zero downtime" or if it means "24/7 with occasional downtime tolerated". OTOH, you *can* build fairly resilient solutions using VMs on an underlying cluster (see cloud providers). Depends on the specific of your situation. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
