Virtualization and containerization

Virtualization and containerization are two different approaches to running multiple applications on a single physical machine.

Virtualization involves running multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, each with its own operating system and resources. This approach is often used to run legacy applications and can be resource-intensive.

Containerization, on the other hand, involves running multiple containers on a single physical machine, all sharing the same operating system and resources. Containers are lightweight and efficient, making them ideal for modern applications that need to be deployed quickly and easily.

Virtualization vs Traditional Virtualization vs Container-based

In summary, virtualization provides complete isolation between applications, while containerization provides lightweight isolation with greater efficiency and portability.
