Does anyone sell containers or virtual machines?


I can stream video on twitch and make money. I can win the youtube lottery and make money there with video. I could make money on itunes. Or I could make money on the app store. Or book stores.. blah blah blah. Where do I make money with containers or virtual machines?

I ask the same. As far as I can tell it comes down to not having a business model that would be profitable. What model can be profitable to both users and providers at scale?

I would love to be able to use a chromebook and be able to access a virtual machine as needed for a few dollars per use. I don't think that's financially possible for a provider.

You'd be better off with SaaS IMO.
