Difference between containers and Virtual machines

Question

Deenadayalan K · Accepted Answer

Containers virtualize the OS, packaging apps with dependencies for lightweight, fast, portable execution, sharing the host kernel; VMs virtualize hardware, requiring a full OS for each, offering stronger isolation but using more resources. Use containers for microservices and rapid scaling, and VMs for legacy apps or maximum security/OS diversity.
