Difference between Docker and Virtual Machines

• Virtual Machines (VMs): Emulate an entire physical machine, including the operating
system.
• Containers: Share the host operating system kernel and isolate applications at the
process level.
Difference between Docker and Virtual Machines

Aspect Docker Containers Virtual Machines

Isolation Process-level isolation Full OS isolation

Performance Near-native performance Overhead due to hypervisor


Startup Time Seconds Minutes

Storage Lightweight, share common layers Includes entire OS, heavier

Resource Usage Efficient, shares OS kernel Higher resource consumption

Highly portable, consistent across Less portable due to dependency on


Portability environments hypervisor
Difference between Docker and Virtual Machines

Detailed Explanation:
• Isolation:
• Containers provide process-level isolation, meaning they share the same OS kernel
but isolate the application processes.
• VMs provide full isolation by running separate instances of the OS, including their
own kernels.
• Performance:
• Containers have near-native performance as they do not have the overhead
associated with running a full OS.
• VMs have some performance overhead due to the need for a hypervisor to manage
the guest OS.
• Startup Time:
• Containers can start in seconds because they do not need to boot up a full OS.
• VMs take longer to start because they need to boot up the entire OS.
Difference between Docker and Virtual Machines

• Storage:
• Containers are lightweight because they can share common image layers.
• VMs are heavier as they include the entire OS and its filesystem.
• Resource Usage:
• Containers are more resource-efficient since they share the host OS kernel and
avoid the overhead of running multiple OS instances.
• VMs consume more resources as each VM runs its own OS.
• Portability:
• Containers are highly portable and can run on any system with Docker installed.
• VMs are less portable due to dependencies on specific hypervisors and hardware
configurations.
Docker Architecture

Components of Docker:
• Docker Client:
• The command-line tool that users interact with to manage Docker. It sends
commands to the Docker Daemon.
• Docker Daemon (dockerd):
• A background service that manages Docker containers, images, networks, and
storage volumes. It listens for Docker API requests and performs the necessary
actions.
• Docker Images:
• Immutable, read-only templates used to create Docker containers. Images contain
the application code, libraries, dependencies, and configuration files.
• They are built from Dockerfiles, which contain a set of instructions for creating the
image.
Docker Architecture

• Docker Containers:
• The runtime instances of Docker images. Containers are isolated environments
where applications run.
• They can be started, stopped, moved, and deleted using Docker commands.
• Docker Registry:
• A service for storing and distributing Docker images. The most commonly used
registry is Docker Hub, but private registries can also be set up.
• Images can be pushed to and pulled from registries.
• Docker Compose:
• A tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It uses a YAML
file (docker-compose.yml) to configure the application’s services, networks, and
volumes.
• It simplifies the management of multi-container applications by allowing all
containers to be defined and run with a single command.
