Why Should I Use Docker Containers vs. VMs For My Cloud Apps?
Search Cloud Computing, Tuesday, July 9th, 2024
Containers and VMs have their own use cases, but one takes the lead in efficiency. Compare the two options, and see how Docker can benefit your cloud applications.
Containers are to VMs what VMs were to physical servers -- a game changer in size, speed and flexibility. Getting familiar with containers at a conceptual level pays dividends on many fronts.
While there remain use cases for VMs, containers and container platforms, such as Docker, will become the de facto way we build and deploy applications. This is due to their scalability, ease of use and portable nature.
