Cloud Native Platforms vs Virtual Machines

Developers should learn and use Cloud Native Platforms to efficiently manage modern, distributed applications that require high availability, scalability, and rapid deployment cycles meets developers should learn and use virtual machines to create isolated, reproducible environments for testing applications across different operating systems without needing separate physical hardware, which is crucial for cross-platform development and ci/cd pipelines. Here's our take.

Cloud Native Platforms

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use Cloud Native Platforms to efficiently manage modern, distributed applications that require high availability, scalability, and rapid deployment cycles

Pros

  • +They are essential for organizations adopting DevOps practices, as they streamline operations, reduce infrastructure overhead, and support continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines
  • +Related to: kubernetes, docker

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Virtual Machines

Developers should learn and use Virtual Machines to create isolated, reproducible environments for testing applications across different operating systems without needing separate physical hardware, which is crucial for cross-platform development and CI/CD pipelines

Pros

  • +They are also essential for running legacy systems securely, optimizing resource utilization in cloud computing, and ensuring consistency in deployment scenarios, such as in DevOps practices
  • +Related to: hypervisor, containerization

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Cloud Native Platforms if: You want they are essential for organizations adopting devops practices, as they streamline operations, reduce infrastructure overhead, and support continuous integration and delivery (ci/cd) pipelines and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Virtual Machines if: You prioritize they are also essential for running legacy systems securely, optimizing resource utilization in cloud computing, and ensuring consistency in deployment scenarios, such as in devops practices over what Cloud Native Platforms offers.
