This premise is already questionable. I can see large organizations like Red
Hat using these (e.g., so they can easily move services from one physical
server to another), but for the servers that I take care of (my personal VPS
and my employer's server), I don't have any use for containers. All that
they would give me is a lot more maintenance work. The typical server
software is the same as always: Apache httpd, Tomcat, etc., which have all
been packaged nicely as native packages for years. I am surely not the only
admin who feels like that.
