[Freeswitch-users] Docker or a traditional VM-based deployment?

Mon Aug 10 23:40:22 UTC 2020

David,

Thanks!

So, you can confirm that there is a financial advantage?

The other apps I talked about will be web apps hosted in other kinds of services currently offered by the cloud providers, like Azure App Services (which can also host Docker containers, btw).

My concern was that if I had to host FreeSWITCH on a VM, that VM would be used exclusively for that. And we all know VMs that run continuously can cost quite a bit…

Regards,
Flavio

It’s a really simple and light configuration: around 10 extensions, one SIP trunk, conferencing (audio only). call recording (user started), very simple IVR, fax reception… So simple that even I can do it myself! :D About performance: the most demanding scenario is 10 simultaneous calls, every single one being recorded.
