A container is meant to run a specific daemon, and the software that is needed for that daemon to properly work. Docker is a framework that runs containers. In many cases, the best solution is using containers. However, this means installing a system on the top of another system. Or maybe, we simply want to isolate MariaDB from the rest of the system, to be sure that we won't cause any damage.Ī virtual machine would certainly serve the scope. Sometimes we want to install a specific version of MariaDB, MariaDB ColumnStore, or MaxScale on a certain system, but no packages are available.
