Why containers are lightweight?

Question

Chitra S · Accepted Answer

Azure containers are lightweight because they share the host machine's operating system (OS) kernel, eliminating the need for a full, separate OS for each container instance. This design choice significantly reduces their size and resource consumption compared to traditional virtual machines (VMs).
