I'm kind of new to Dockers and are trying to understand the advantages/disadvantage vs a VM. My intention is to move my current installation from on-premise to Azure.
The current installation has file storage of about 150GB. I have about 200 000 tickets in the system. It's used by about 15 simultaneous users. Version 6.x
Anyone who could give me an advise on this matter?

Re: Docker vs VM?
yes having one advice: never trust microsoft 
Especially if you hand over data to them...
They give their best to make the best for their profits with you data.... and especially with your high dependency to them
Anyway if you want to stick to Microsoft I would only use a replaceable solution. So that you can simply switch the vendor.
So I would install personally a native linux in a VM and on top of it a docker.
We use this way for our managed Znuny instances, and we can easily migrate from:
- nacked hardware => vmware and vice versa
- vmware => hyperV and vice versa
- vmware => KVM/proxmox and vice versa
- vmware => Azure VM and vice versa
- vmware => AWS nodes and vice versa
- vmware => to any other VM or provider and vice versa
- and many other options
Drawback, you require good docker knowledge for production, since development is the easy part. Having it stable on production is the more tricky part. But managable...
