What Is A Virtual Machine (VM)?
A Virtual machine (VM) is an isolated computing environment inside a physical machine (i.e. your computer) created from the resources of a physical machine using certain third-party software such as Virtual Box, VMware, etc.
While Virtual machines run like individual computers with individual operating systems and applications, they can remain completely independent of one another and the physical host machine. For example, we can run Kali Linux on Windows machines.
How Is Docker Different From A Virtual Machine?
In the growing world of technologies, Docker and Virtual Machines (VMs) have emerged as go-to solutions for application development and deployment in IT industries. Both VMs and docker containers help you to clone the development environment, which helps you to manage dependencies and configurations better over your primary Operating System. But there are some differences you should be aware of that will help you choose a VM or a Docker container depending on the application.
