@coliver There are ways to prevent it you just have to do it the right way, depends on if you are using an 800 number or what you are doing with the call as it comes in, also depends on what kind of phone system you have. I worked for a company that set up failover for a suiceide prevention hotline that had an SLA of 100% it can be done.
@scottalanmiller Containers with some exceptions (ESXi Instant Clone, and Photon Fast Boot) are orders of magnitude faster to create than VM's.
Containers running in a shared OS instance also can lower CPU overhead on the scheduler. Until recently Containers also sucked pretty bad at high IO activities (still not amazing, but a bit better).
Bah. I was hoping for an opportunity to make a snarky remark about CALs.
LOL. That might be an issue, too. Some Windows hosting includes CALs, some does not. I didn't see any mention of it when they said that Windows was free, which doesn't guarantee anything, but is suggestive.
@Dashrender I was thinking of the printer plugging straight in to one of the ports on the EdgeRouter. If they have other needs (wifi APs, cameras, etc) then that becomes part of the equation.
Sure, doesn't stop someone from unplugging it and plugging a laptop, etc... that's all I'm saying.
Oh, you are looking for nesting? Is that the problem? you had asked for container hosting at one point, which is exactly what this is. If you want to run your own containers, you have to look for a VM.
