Curious to know what the experiences are for those who are sticking to bare metal. Would like to better understand what keeps such admins from migrating to containers, Docker, Podman, Virtual Machines, etc. What keeps you on bare metal in 2025?

    I generally abstract to docker anything I don’t want to bother with and just have it work.

    If I’m working on something that requires lots of back and forth syncing between host and container, I’ll run that on bare metal and have it talk to things in docker.

    Ie: working on an app or a website or something in language of choice on framework of choice, but postgres and redis are living in docker. Just the app I’m messing with and it’s direct dependencies run outside.
