Grandma Remembers Deploying Applications Without Containers

Description

The 'Sure grandma, let's get you to bed' meme template showing an elderly woman using a walker being guided by a younger woman in a teal t-shirt, set in a garden. The grandma's text reads: 'I used to deploy applications without containers'. The younger woman responds: 'sure grandma let's get you to bed'. The meme humorously frames pre-container deployment (bare metal, VMs, manual server provisioning, 'works on my machine' syndrome) as something so ancient and absurd that only an elderly person would remember it, highlighting how deeply containerization has become the default in modern software deployment

The year is 2050. 'I remember when we had to write our own Dockerfiles,' I'll tell my grandkids. They'll nod politely and say, 'Sure, grandpa, let's get you back to the AI that auto-codes and deploys based on your brainwaves.'

Back in her day, ‘deploy’ meant a cheeky ssh + rsync - now it’s 400 lines of YAML to run “hello world.”

Back when 'works on my machine' meant physically shipping your machine to the data center

Back in my day, we deployed straight to bare metal and liked it! Now get off my lawn and into your ephemeral pods

We replaced 'ssh + rsync + pray' with 'kubectl apply + YAML drift.' Progress, but the pager still knows my number

Pre-containers: artisanal snowflake servers, where 'it works on my machine' launched a thousand incidents

good old scp/ftp. just upload new html/css to the server and voila! new version is deployed

Idk, I deploy without containers (but using Python venv). Also no CI/CD, but using git pull instead of ftp

  At work a rather simple application was developed using Docker because a guy with DevOps title had to practice his skills and make his salary worth. He since left and my colleagues can't understand what tf was that for.
