Popularity-Boost for the POSIX-Shell in the Era of Containerized Computing?
Not even thinking that POSIX-Shell is deprecated, but I like working with bash very much, because of it's increased comfort and advanced functions. And in my world here it's available everywhere as default.
Working with kubernetes now, it seems there is a paradigm shift in terms of resources. Small is beautiful is one old and new slogan here. Faster to backup, Faster to set up, Less I/O. A popular linux distribution for containers is alpine linux: Default Installed Image size: ~5 MB. Based on busybox and musl.
With kubernetes(or with other container technology) you can use resources far more effectively and that's why small resource footprint gains you really much in terms of how many applications can I run on the cluster?
Want to install bash? Nearly Triples space usage of that whole system. So size really matters...
Debian/Ubuntu docker base images are at 80-120 MB with my final app images(small apps) around 200-400 MB.
