What is the difference between a virtual machine and a container?
A virtual machine (VM) and a container are two different ways to deploy applications.
VMs run a full operating system (OS), are resource-intensive, and provide strong isolation between one another. They’re ideal for applications requiring complete OS isolation.
On the other hand, containers share the host OS kernel, are lightweight, and provide isolated processes and file systems. They’re ideal for applications that can run on the same OS and need quick deployment and scaling.
