@eliseo01@fe.disroot.org @phnt@fluffytail.org @silhouette@dumbfuckingweb.site I don't really think virtualization itself (especially using LXC and such) is a massive overhead by itself.

The real overhead comes from the amount of applications that you're now running multiple instances in multiple containers which could be a single daemon. This is where the real overhead (and additional maintenance complexity) comes from.

Instead of running a single webserver with 8 vhosts, you're running 9 webserver daemons with a single main one connected to the 8 other webserver daemons using reverse proxies.

Same goes for everything else that server applications very often tend to share, such as database instances, cache storage, etc.
