Are there any specific advantages/disadvantages of using Machine Image while setting up the Broker

Hi @sacduggal,an interesting question and I’m hoping I’m not the only one to answer!

in purely Solace terms there should not be any feature or performance differences between the VM images and containers (assuming the containers are deployed on Linux). I find the machine images easier to set up, but then they lack the container orchestration advantages of, for instance, Kubernetes, so in production it might be easier to use containers.

Personally I’d say there is little enough difference between the two that I’d pick your VM vs container strategy first, then decide how PubSub+ will work within that.
