📣 The “bare metal is better” era is over. Hyperscalers have already moved on—most Kubernetes services run on VMs, not bare metal. Why? – Performance gaps are gone – Security favors VMs – Complexity still tilts to VMs Containers on VMs bring built-in isolation, elasticity, snapshots, and easier scale. So don’t build for outdated assumptions. 📣 For real-world workloads, containers run better on VMs.
