Yep, some people sort of miss the point of microservices and make some fairly monolithic containers. Or they're legacy apps being shoehorned into a container. Some things still require handholding. FreeIPA is a good example. They have a container version, but it's just a monolithic install in a container and only recommended for testing.

Containerfiles are super easy to write. For the most part if you can do it in a VM, you can do it in a container. This sort of thing is why you would move to containers. Instead of being the "expert" in all the apps you run, you can focus on the things that actually need your attention.

Your own pace is slower than cashiers that do it as a job though.

If you mean self-checkout, they're not being replaced by machines they're being replaced by you. It's just more shadow work you are expected to do for free.

I literally get paid to do this type of work and there is no way for me to be an expert in all the services that our platform runs. Again, that's kind of the point. Let the person who writes the container be the expert. I'll provide the platform, the maintenance, upgrades, etc.. the developer can provide the expertise in their app.

Correct, not all containers are for services. I would never say that docker is superior. I would however say that containers are (I can be pedantic too). They're version-controlled, they come with the correct dependencies, etc... There are many reasons why developing with containers is superior and I'm sure you're aware of them already. Everyone is moving to do exactly that. There are always edge cases, but those are few and far between these days.

It's probably more to do with being compliant with other countries' systems. The US has passport cards, but they only work with Canada and Mexico. I'm sure that has to do with some agreement we made with them.

And US passports.

Well, yes that's best practice. That doesn't mean you have to do it that way.

You absolutely can. It's not like the developers of postgresql maintain a version of postgresql that only allows one db. You can connect to that db and add however many things you want to it.

Those are very "people live in cities" map.
