vmw-eng-user,

This is a very open ended question and depends heavily on a huge amount of variables.

Do you have a specific use case,workload or application you are planning to migrate?

Hi vmw-eng-user,

It depends check this post summarizes very well the options and the criteria.

Sotiris,

This link/article doesn't compare virtialisation/containerisation, it is comparing virtualised/baremetal infrastrcture for container hosting/deployment.

Hi PixelDrift.Net,

The shared link I believe is useful also in this case, same principles apply also when such a decision is need to be taken it gives a good overview of aspects which need to be considered ( I.e it depends )

For a technology comparison between Virtualisation and Containerisation i have found useful this study.

From my experience it is also very important performance wise the selection of the container host not all lightweight container hosts perform the same.
