> But Andrew, Docker is already a thing…

Docker is a lot better on Linux, everywhere else you must also spin a VM of sorts. It makes a difference if you’re running multiple instances since you only pay for the virtualized kernel once.



Docker is infinitely better on linux. There is a lot of merit to the idea that if you're building for linux servers, build in a linux environment.

So much life-force is wasted in trying to make Docker on another OS behave like linux.

It is ironically, easier to run Docker, an linux inside something like a Virtual box an enjoy near native experience.


Also, the author of the article said there was no virtualbox for Apple Silicon.

It does appear to be in some kind of beta

My first question reading the article was "wth is vagrant?". I use Docker to containerize projects all the time.
