Но в какой-то момент появляются новые требования к изоляции нагрузок. И вот уже привычная модель с обычными виртуальными машинами перестает выглядеть универсальной. А переход на приватный хост публичного облака пусть и решает часть задач, но приносит с собой дополнительные ограничения и затраты.Вот тут-то и появляется промежуточный вариант — виртуальн Read more
