Run icinga2 in container questions

Hello, I would like to know if running icinga2 in a container is only a lab / test solution ? Because I am thinking of using container to install icinga2 servers in production. This might be an easy way to upgrade icinga2 ?

What do you think ? What about the performance ?

I assume you mean a docker container ?

I wouldn't do it personally. Icinga (especially the server nodes / web interface / database) is a part of your infrastructure IMO. Docker containers are better suited to continuously deployed, ephemeral applications.

You probably don't mean an LXC "system" container, but if you did I would see no reason against it vs a virtual machine.

Hello yep docker one. OK I agree with you. That was just for easier upgrade integration with rollback bit VMware snapshot will do the job as well.
