For example, my current employee use CentOS for videosurveillance. In a lot of locations (100+), we still have analog cameras, that use V4L2 grabbing cards with an out-of-tree kernel driver that I painfully maintain myself (it is unclear if we only have the rights to modify its source).On Dec 10, Joel Wirāmu Pauling <joel@aenertia.net> wrote:is. Binary compat is mostly a thing of the past in modern Rhel due to containerization. Container tooling in userspace is one of the reasons RHCool narrative, but the reality is a bit more complex than that. Fibre Channel users need very specific kernels or else the hardware vendors will refuse support (and their vendor drivers will not compile).
Containers are completely impossible for this use case. And because of our decentralized installation, we almost need one server by geographical location anyway, so it's a bit useless to have one server with two containers.
I also have to admit that I'm a bit tired of this containerization-mania. Container orchestration requires a lot of tooling, and I guess that selling tools (of support for them) is a valid business strategy. But we also have the right to say no to it :)
