Re:Capsule Shield: A Docker Alternative for the JVM

What makes Docker-based deploys of JVM applications slower than Capsule-based deploys? All of an organization's Docker images for JVM applications would probably be based on the same base image, so there's no waste there.

Because you still need the extra step of creating the images (and layering them carefully if you want them to share dependencies other than the JVM). To run a capsule inside a container (if you want to run it in a container), you just tell Shield to launch the capsule JAR (which is created anyway by the build). In fact, you can even embed Shield itself in the capsule.
