    Containers Vs Virtual Machine

    Containers and virtual machines are both resource virtualization technologies that virtualize system resources like CPU, memory, and storage. The key difference is that virtual machines virtualize the entire machine including the operating system, while containers only virtualize at the software layer above the operating system level. Containers provide lighter isolation than virtual machines and use fewer system resources.

    Containers vs.

    virtual machines

     Containers and virtual machines are very similar resource virtualization technologies.

     Virtualization is the process in which a system singular resource like RAM, CPU, Disk,
    or Networking can be ‘virtualized’ and represented as multiple resources.

     The key differentiator between containers and virtual machines is that virtual machines
    virtualize an entire machine down to the hardware layers and containers only virtualize
    software layers above the operating system level.
