In this lesson
know when VMs and managed container platforms fit.
Planned topics
- VMs fit lift-and-shift, special OS or licence needs, and software that cannot be containerized.
- You own patching, images, scaling groups, and hardening.
- Managed container platforms run stateless services with autoscaling and rolling deploys without cluster administration.
- Containers give a repeatable package, which suits Java services well.
- Verify provider service names and limits before recording.
