[PVE-User] Spam:**********, KVM vs Container - Why should one use KVM?

[Bruce B]

Thanks for the input Tony.

Yeah, and those are the sort limitations that I would like to hear in a bit

Also more importantly things that matter to Asterisk. For example sharing a
timing source, etc...that relates to Asterisk.

Any other limitations?

Thanks
