How many containers are you all running? (lemmy.world)

There is a post about getting overwhelmed by 15 containers and people not wanting to turn the post into a container measuring contest.

But now I am curious, what are your counts? I would guess those of you running k*s would win out by pod scaling

docker ps | wc -l

For those wanting a quick count.

Why VMs instead of contsiners? Seems like way more processing overhead.

    Eh... Not really. Qemu does a really good job with VM virtualizarion.

    I believe I could easily build containers instead of VMs from the nix config, but I actually do like having a full VM: since it's running a full OS instead of an app, all the usual nix tooling just works on it.

    Also: In my day job, I actually have to deal quite a bit with containers (and kubernetes), and I just... don't like it.

    Yeah, just wondered because containers just hook into the kernal in a way that doesn't have overhead. Where as a VM has to emulate the entire OS. But hey I get it, fixing stuff inside the container can be a pain
