</div>There are also a number of situations in which a container based<br>
solution may not offer sufficient flexibility. For example:<br>
<br>
- A container based solution cannot run a kernel other than the one in<br>
use on the physical host. This may not be compatible with the<br>
operating system your clients want to run.<br>
<br>
- A container based solution cannot run a completely different<br>
operating system. People often want to run Windows instances in the<br>
cloud, and occasionally other non-Linux options like FreeBSD.<br>
<br>
Additionally, the container driver for OpenStack are not yet as mature<br>
as the hypervisor drivers, and may lack the features or stability to<br>
make them an attractive alternative.<br>
