Two conversations over the past couple of weeks have surprised me in a good way about what infrastructure companies are doing about containers. Patrick Brennan, Atlantis' Senior Product Marketing Manager, pointed out that there are a lot of similarities between VDI workloads and containers. If you've built infrastructure that works well for VDI, then a lot of the requirements for running containers are going to be pretty similar, right? I mean, hyper-converged infrastructure started out because Google and Facebook and friends were running these vast herds of simple, commodity servers with storage built in, right? I'm probably very late to this realization, but of course hyper-converged gear will be good for containers!
