"Right Docker install" - I agree, there will be that problem at some point. But containers are not just some extra layer: they do not solve the same problem as fat jar. JARs are used for the distribution of the code and related assets. With containers you can distribute and isolate the deployment configuration: you can run multiple applications on the same physical server and not worry about conflicts due to different versions of JRE or system libraries. Vulnerability in one app will not affect another one. Security patches and system updates may be tested in isolation in a single container, before propagating the change (in the form of a common base image) to others. And, of course, it's just very convenient to run the whole Linux-based production cluster or test load balancing on your work laptop with Windows. :) |
