Recently, we heard a company say that they wanted to move all of their applications from Virtual Machines to Containers because they no longer wanted to do patching of Operating Systems.
This got us thinking. Would that move completely eliminate the need to patch Operating Systems, since Containers are Linux and there are still Operating Systems running on the container hosts?
Following up on Eps.47 "VM Admins vs Container Admins" we wanted to go a little deeper into the differences between patching OS, Containers and Virtual Machines.
