funny, to me systemd == no docker, no containers, just a VM.

it's my goto way to keep my programming running and have it be restarted if the vm reboots. I use VMs like "pods". I deploy code directly to the VM and run it there along with other programs. I scale up and scale down with: https://www.pulumi.com/

If I correctly understand your point, then it's worth noting the article is using a container merely to showcase the different parts of systemd in a sterile, reproducible environment. They're not running containers as systemd services, even though that's possible with podman

Love Pulumi btw

oh I guess I mean "most kids today" know nothing of running code outside docker. And don't ever need systemd. The "orchestration" of their pods is done by k8s. But I just don't get why. The extra complexity for what? Just make each ec2 instance VM a pod.
