Today, we have a hot topic to dig into: Containers vs. Virtual Machines. Are you sure you understand the difference between the two? While going through a challenge building Docker with Go, I realised I hadn’t quite grasped what a container is.
Let me ask you this question: Do you know under which conditions running a Docker container is at least as expensive (computationally ) as running a virtual machine?
If you don’t know the answer to that question, stick around. We’ll be working out the answer to that and more, such as: What is a VM? What is a container? What are the differences between a container and a VM? Why is a container more lightweight(generally speaking)? What are the drawbacks of using a container when compared to a VM?
The first step is to understand what a VM (or Virtual Machine) is.
#docker #virtualmachines #vm
