Bare Metal Containers

According to a recent IDC survey,[1] the enterprise market is at a roughly 50-50 split between running containers on-premises (51.55%) versus in the public cloud (48.45%). The same report found a similar 50-50 split when it comes to running on-premises containers on bare metal servers versus on virtual machines (VMs). The survey respondents reported that 51.79% of their containers are on VMs, while their containers on bare metal total 48.21%.
