Panel Discussion: Are Containers the Future of IaaS?
summary
Panelists debate concrete tradeoffs: OpenStack and Docker coexist, Kubernetes/Swarm/Nomad each serve different use cases, and orchestration layers multiply as teams mix VMs, bare metal and containers. Notable claims: Google-style deployments run VMs running in containers and Amazon VM images mirror container images; Gartner tracks 70 different container projects; OpenStack Cinder supports about 80 Cinder drivers for storage. Strategies include lift‑and‑shift VM→container conversion, progressive modernization (MTA), SUSE’s CaaS→PaaS stacking with Magnum+Kubernetes for orchestration.
