[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH on Docker

[Giovanni Maruzzelli]

As containers use LXC (a form of "jail" or "openvz like") to run a program
on the only kernel that is running on the actual hardware ( instead of
mimicking a machine and running a kernel ), FreeSWITCH will probably behave
well, if it is the only program running on the actual hardware.

If on the same hardware other programs (containers) are running, you will
have exactly the same drawback than running FS on an hardware machine that
is running other programs too: contentions of resources, IRQs, timers,
kernel structures, etc (eg, a no-no, under high loads).

So, containers are better than virtualization (as in KVM, VMWare, etc), but
nothing will beat FS running alone in an actual hardware (containerized or
not) for obvious reasons.

Test test test, your use case may be particular and uniq.
