Non-containerized applications. Not in a container. It’s not complicated. Running “on bare metal” sounds cool but it’s a wildly inaccurate description. Containerized applications run on the system natively just like non-containerized applications. So if one of them runs “on bare metal” then then others do as well.
But historically “on bare metal” is used for embedded or micro-controllers where you don’t have an OS.
What are we supposed to call it? Genuine question
