Virtualisation abstracts hardware resources to allow

multiple operating systems to run on the


same physical machine. A hypervisor manages virtual
machines (VMs), each running its own guest
OS and kernel. VMs provide strong isolation but incur
overhead because they replicate full
Virtualization operating system stacks. They are suitable for running
and Containers
different OS types and legacy
applications and support consolidation of workloads onto
fewer physical servers. Containers are
a lighter weight alternative that virtualise at the operating
system level. Rather than
bundling an entire OS, containers package an application
and its dependencies while sharing the
host kernel. This results in faster start up times, smaller
image sizes and higher density of
workloads. Containers provide process level isolation using
namespaces and cgroups, and
orchestrators like Kubernetes manage large fleets. Key
differences include resource
utilisation, guest compatibility and deployment patterns:
VMs are ideal when strong isolation
or different kernels are needed, while containers excel at
microservices architectures and
continuous deployment. Persisting data in containers
requires volume management, and security
requires appropriate configuration. Hybrid environments
often use both VMs and containers: VMs
host container runtime environments, combining isolation
and efficiency.
