From this question, it seems like that docker containers are faster and more light weight then VMs. Are there some use cases that you would want to use a VM over using docker containers? Is process isolation sufficient in all most all uses cases over full isolation?

Reference How is Docker different from a virtual machine?

  • I was hoping for something more in line of process isolation vs full isolation. In the case of GUI, it is possible but maybe not in the roadmap of docker just yet. https://medium.com/@SaravSun/running-gui-applications-inside-docker-containers-83d65c0db110 – echo Mar 06 '20 at 22:10
